Ingredients
Raw choc maple peanut butter slice
- 1/2 cup regular dates, soaked in boiling water for 20 minutes, then drained well
- 2 tablespoon dark cocoa powder
- 1 cup roasted almonds, blitzed into fine powder (or use ground almonds)
- 25 gram coconut oil, melted
- 25 gram quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 100 gram peanut butter (this is about 5-6 tbsp)
- 4 tablespoon maple syrup
- decent pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
Topping
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- cacao nibs (or choc chips) to garnish
Method
- 1Squeeze any excess water from the dates, then process with the cocoa and almonds. Press the mixture in an even 1cm layer into a sandwich tin. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover the entire base. Refrigerate.
- 2In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil, then add the chocolate. Cover with a tea towel and leave for 10 minutes before whisking together.
- 3Process the peanut butter, maple syrup and salt. Add the melted chocolate mixture and coconut. Stir to combine.
- 4Spoon over the firmed base and smooth with the spoon.
- 5For the topping, melt the peanut butter and maple syrup together. Drizzle over the slice. Sprinkle on the cacao nibs to garnish. Refrigerate.
- 6Slice into small squares and eat up!
Notes
- Makes 10cm x 15cm slab. - Because coconut oil has such a low melting point and we are heading into warmer weather, store this slice in the refrigerator to keep it firm.
