Festive Slice
This has been my favourite Xmas slice for many years now. I make double the recipe and keep it in the freezer. As it takes no time to defrost to eat it is a great back up at this time. My thanks to Organic Sisters and Food Matters for this.
Ingredients:
FILLING
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup of desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup raw pistachio nuts
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
CHOCOLATE TOPPING
- 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup (or natural sweetener of choice)
- 1/4 cup of cacao powder
Method:
- Pulse the cranberries, coconut and pistachios in the food processor until chopped (ensure you don’t over process).
- Add the coconut oil and coconut cream and pulse again until the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the mixture on top of the base and return to the freezer to set.
- Add the coconut oil, maple syrup and cacao to a small mixing bowl and stir until it is combined and resembles chocolate sauce.
- Spread the chocolate sauce on top of the filling. Make sure the filling is set before you do this step!
