Creating the Layers

2. In a food processor, blend desiccated coconut, almonds, 14 dates, and 2 teaspoons of cacao until smooth.

3. Press firmly into the tray to form the base.

4. Clean the processor, then blend coconut cream, cashews, 10 dates, and vanilla until creamy.

5. Spread evenly over the base and place in the freezer while you prepare the top layer.

6. In a small saucepan, gently heat coconut oil, maple syrup, and the remaining cacao for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

7. Pour the chocolate mixture over the slice and refrigerate for 2 hours until set.

8. Slice and enjoy with a warm cup of herbal tea.

Why This Slice Feels So Good

Dates bring natural sweetness along with fibre and minerals, making them a great alternative to refined sugar. Cashews create a creamy texture while also providing plant-based protein and healthy fats. Together with cacao, which adds depth and richness, this slice is a balance of flavour, texture, and nourishment.
