Base In a blender, blend dates, almonds, coconut oil until it resembles fine crumbs and is sticky in consistency and able to be pressed together. Pour mixture into a slice tin lined 20x20cm with non-toxic grease proof paper and press it down to form a base. Place it in the freezer. Caramel Put dates, coconut oil, tahini, maple syrup, cashews and water into a blender and pulse until completely smooth( you may need a little bit extra water to help blend it but try not to add any. Pour caramel mixture on top of the base and return it to the freezer to set. Raw chocolate layer Add the coconut oil, maple syrup and cacao to a small saucepan on really low heat and stir until it is combines and resembles chocolate sauce, this will only take a few minutes. Spread the chocolate sauce on the top of the caramel filling( make sure the caramel is set before you do this step). Pop it back into the freezer for an hour and remove it from the tin, slice it up and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
Tip:
Make sure you remove it from the tin and cut as soon as it comes out of the freezer... it’ s much easier.
