Raw Caramel Slice...
  • egg free, gluten free, dairy free, processed sugar free...

Firstly, place 1 cup of raw cashews in some hot water to soak and soften for 1 hour, rinse once softened. These will be used in the caramel layer.
​
BASE
  • 1 cup (approx 12)dates, chopped
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1tsp coconut oil
Blend all ingredients in your food processor and press into a lined slice tray. Place in the freezer while you make the caramel..

​CARAMEL
  • 3/4 cup (approx 8) dates, chopped
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 tblsp tahini
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup of presoaked raw cashews
  • 1/3 cup water.
Place dates, coconut oil, tahini, maple syrup & cashews in food processer and pulse until smooth, you will need to add a little water gradually to obtain smoothness. Do not add too much water, otherwise your caramel will be too runny and won't set. Pour the caramel on top of your base and place back in the freezer while you make the chocolate top.

Chocolate Top * (see below for options)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup raw cocoa.
Place ingredients into a saucepan and warm, stirring until it looks like chocolate topping. Pour over caramel layer and place back in the freezer, on a level surface for 1 hour until set.
​
*This provides a thin layer, as seen in the photo, if you like a thick chocolate layer, increase the measures to 1/3 of cup for each ingredient.
Once set, remove from freezer & pan. Slice whilst still 'frozen' into little squares. This raw slice is very rich, a small piece goes a long way. Store in your fridge in a sealed container and enjoy when needed.
