Jackie’s Recipe of the month
Raw Festive Slice
PALEO FRIENDLY, GLUTEN & DAIRY FREE!
Base
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup dried dates
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Pulse the almonds and cacao in the food processor until it resembles a fine crumb.
While the food processor is running add in the dates one at a time and the coconut oil until it is well combined.
Pour the mixture into a small slice tin lined with baking paper and press it down to form the base. Place in the freezer to set.
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
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.
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
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!
Pop it back into the freezer for an hour and then remove it from the tin, slice it up and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
