Raw Vegan Top Deck Slice
 
 
Hazel & Cacao:
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • BASE:
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup cacao powder
  • 4 TBSP maple syrup
  • FILLING:
  • 2 cups raw cashews ( soaked for 3-4 hours or overnight)
  • 4 TBSP maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup melted cacao butter
  • Juice of 1 small lemon or 2 TBSP plant based milk of choice
Method
  1. For the base: In a medium bowl combine together almond meal, cacao powder and maple syrup. Mix together with a fork or spoon until the mixture becomes sticky. It may seem like it will mot come together at first but keep mixing and pressing the mixture and it will come together
  2. Press down the base into a lined square brownie tin and set aside
  3. For the filling: melt down your cacao butter over low heat or using a double boiler and set aside
  4. Place the cashews, maple syrup, vanilla and lemon juice/milk in a high speed blender and blend until as smooth as possible
  5. Slowly add in your melted cacao butter and blend again until smooth and creamy
  6. Pour the white chocolate filling over the based and smooth with spatula. I like to tap or shake the tin gently to get a perfectly smooth surface.
  7. Set in the freezer for 2- 4 hours.
  8. Once set cut into squares and enjoy! You may need to let it thaw for a few minutes before cutting
  9. Will keep in the fridge or freezer.
