If you love a raw vegan treat so much you're spending a small fortune on them, trying making this one to save some $$$. This treat even had even the most virgin healthy treat eaters of my family and friends in disbelief that it was actually healthy!
Here's the recipe:
BASE -
- 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup almond or hazelnut meal
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup of dates
- 1 Tbs coconut oil
- Blend or combine in a food processor for a few minutes until everything is combined. Press mixture in to a baking paper lined tray and store in the freezer while you prepare the caramel filling.
CARAMEL FILLING:
- 1 1/2 cup of dates
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- Blend or combine in a food processor for 3-5 minutes until all ingredients are combined in a caramel like goo. Smooth this over the top of the base and return to the freezer.
CHOC TOPPING:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2Tbs cacao powder
- 2Tbs rice malt syrup (or honey for non-vegans)
- Combine ingredients in the food processor or blender until you get a smooth chocolate (won't take long). Smooth over the top of caramel filling and add any toppings you like such as left over coconut shreds or some dried berries
- Return the tray to the freezer to set for 1-2 hours
- Store in the fridge or freezer and remember to enjoy moderately! Even though this is about as healthy as it gets when it comes to treats, it is still high in natural sugars and as with anything should be enjoyed in moderation :)
Side note: all ingredients were purchased from The Source in Cairns to save money and reduce waste by only purchasing the exact quantities needed for the recipe.
