COCONUT ALMOND LAYER
1 cup roasted almonds
3/4 cup desiccated coconut
2 pitted medjool dates
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
Pinch of pink salt
CHOCO LAYER
1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
2-3 tbsp cacao powder (depending how choco you want it)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp maple syrup
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all the coconut almond layer ingredients into a blender, blend then transfer into a square container or baking tray. (optional to line the tray/container with baking paper, but I seem to be able to remove my slices fine without)
Melt the coconut oil and mix in the cacao, vanilla and maple syrup.
Pour over the coconut almond layer, spreading evenly then popping it into a freezer to set for 30 minutes.
Once it’s set, cut it into 6 slices, removing them with a knife and small spatular. Transferring into smaller containers to leave in the fridge (or eat some straight away hehe)
Enjoy chickens!
