Equipment

  • baking tin
  • small saucepan
  • Baking paper
  • high speed blender

Ingredients

Base

  • 1/2 cup cacao powder raw
  • 60 ml coconut oil melted
  • 12 medjool dates pitted
  • 150 g raw cashews

Filling

  • 1/3 cup dessicated coconut
  • 125 ml maple syrup pure
  • 250 g raspberries fresh or defrosted
  • 150 g raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries (optional)

Topping

  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 80 ml maple syrup pure
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder raw

Instructions

  • Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking powder so that it overlaps on opposite sides (a loose bottom tin helps too).

For the Base:

  • Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until the mixture forms very fine breadcrumbs and sticks together when pressed between your finger and thumb.
  • Spread and press mixture evenly into the base of your tin to form the first flat layer. Freeze for 1 hour.

For the Filling:

  • Place all ingredients into a clean high speed blender and blend until creamy and smooth.
  • Spread this mixture evenly over the base layer and return to the freezer for 1 hour to set.

For the Topping:

  • Put the coconut oil into a small saucepan and place over a low heat until just melted. Add maple syrup and stir to combine. Add cacao powder and stir again until mixture is completely smooth.
  • Pour this topping quickly and evenly over the raspberry layer, tilting the cake tin to allow the chocolate to cover the entire surface before it sets.
  • Freeze slice for at least 3-4 hours or overnight to set.

To slice:

  • Gently remove slice from tin by holding the overlapped sides of baking paper, and easing it out gently.
    Slice with a hot knife (run knife blade under hot water and dry. Repeat after every cut to achieve clean slices) into 18 slices. Place slices into an airtight container lined with baking paper and freeze. Remove slices from freezer 5-10 minutes before eating.
    Slices will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

When lining the baking tin, make sure you have an overlap of baking paper on all four sides as this will help give you something to hold onto when easing the slice out of the tin.
Once you have made the base, make sure you clean your high speed blender before making the raspberry filling as you want to have a clean berry colour for this layer.
Make sure you allow time for each layer to set. This is not a difficult recipe, but you do need to allow about an hour for each layer to set in the freezer before adding the next one.
