Gooey Raw Caramel Slice

Ingredients:

Base:

• 3/4 cup almonds
• 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 6 pitted dates
• 1/3 shredded coconut

Caramel

• 1/3 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 12 pitted dates
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Chocolate layer:

• 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1/3 cup cacao powder
• 1/2 cup of rice malt syrup

 

Method:

Place all the ingredients for the base in a food processor (I use a nutri-bullet) and blitz until  you get a crumbly mixture. Scoop mixture into a loaf tin lined with baking paper. Press down firmly and set aside.

Place all ingredients for the caramel in the food processor (no need to clean it between base and caramel). Blend until you get a thick, smooth consistency. Spoon that mixture onto the base and refrigerate while making the chocolate layer.

Melt all the ingredients for the chocolate layer in the microwave or in a pot on the stove top, until a thick chocolate sauce forms. Then pour the chocolate over the caramel and base. You might have to spread the chocolate layer so it covers all the caramel. The chocolate sauce may seem thin, but it will thicken up once set in the fridge.

Refrigerate for about an hour or until the chocolate layer is set. Then slice and dig in!

I like to top my raw caramel slice with freeze dried raspberries before putting it in the fridge to set. You can also top with coconut flakes or nuts of your choice. Either way it still tastes good!
