Takes

Serves 12

Ingredients
 

Base Layer

  • 280 g ground almonds (or almond flour)
  • 100 g agave syrup (or clear date syrup)
  • 100 g coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt

Caramel Filling

  • 300 g pitted dates
  • 100 g almond (cashew, or peanut butter)
  • 10-14 tbsp water (start with 10 tablespoons and add more if needed)
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 large pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Topping

  • 300 g dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Base Layer
    Line a brownie pan or baking tray (approx. 20cm x 30cm) with parchment paper.
    In a saucepan, melt the coconut oil. In a large bowl, mix the ground almonds with the melted coconut oil and agave syrup or clear date syrup.
    Pour the mixture into the lined baking tray and compact it with a spoon until it is level and compressed.
    Place the tray in the freezer for 20 minutes to set while you prepare the caramel filling and melt the chocolate.
  • Caramel Layer
    In a food processor, blend all the caramel filling ingredients until smooth and caramel-like. This may take up to 5 minutes, depending on your food processor. Add more water if the mixture is too thick to blend smoothly.
    Once the base has set, spread the caramel layer evenly over the base.
    Return the tray to the freezer to set again while you melt the chocolate.
  • Chocolate Topping
    Melt the chocolate using a water bath or Bain Marie.
    Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and smooth it out.
    Allow the chocolate to cool and set (at room temperature or in the fridge).
    Once fully set, cut into squares of your desired size.
    Serve and enjoy!
