Recipe
Ingredients
- Base
- 200g hazelnut meal
- ¼ cup sweetener (rice-malt syrup, honey or maple syrup)
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
-
- Filling
- 350g cashew nuts (soaked for minimum 2–3 hours)
- ¼ cup sweetener (rice-malt syrup, honey or maple syrup)
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- 50–70mL espresso coffee, cooled (approx. 2 shots)
-
- Raw Chocolate*
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- 4 tbsp sweetener (rice-malt syrup, honey or maple syrup)
- 4 tbsp cacao powder
- * Alternatively, you can use 150g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
Method
- In food processor or blender, add hazelnut meal, sweetener and cacao and mix until fully combined.
- Press into 20cm × 30cm slice tin (lined with baking sheet) and place in freezer while you make filling.
- Drain liquid from cashews and rinse well. Process in food processor to form paste.
- Add remaining filling ingredients and mix on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape the sides of processor a few times.
- Spread filling over base and return to freezer to set (about 20 mins).
- Either melt dark chocolate in bowl over pot of hot water or make raw chocolate by mixing all ingredients together.
- Once filling is set, pour over melted chocolate and set in freezer (approx. 5 mins).
- Cut into squares (with large, sharp knife run under boiling water) and store in freezer until ready to serve.
