Ingredients:
For the base: 1 cup of almond flour 1/4 Cup of cacao powder 1/4 Cup of melted coconut oil 2 tbsp of agave For the caramel: 25 soaked dates (overnight is best) 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil 1/4 Cup of maple syrup 1/4 tsp salt |
For the topping: 1/4 cup of cacao powder 1/2 cup almond flour 1 tbsp of agave 1 tbsp of melted coconut oil |
|
Directions:
For the base: Combine by hand in a mixing bowl and pour into the greased tin. Wet your fingertips with some melted coconut oil and gently press and pat the base flat. It may seem a little squishy but this is good..be gentle and if it's sticking just pop some more coconut oil on your fingertips. Pop it in the freezer to set while you make the caramel. For the caramel: Combine is a small bowl using a blending stick or use a food processor if that's all you have. Blend until really smooth. Taste should be very sweet and caramel tasting! YUM..Pour over the base and smooth out. Place back in the freezer. For the crumbly topping: Combine all dry ingredients by hand. Then add the wet and 'rub together' like you would a normal crumble. Sprinkle over the caramel until well covered and slightly press into the caramel so it is still on top but you can see the caramel poking through. Freeze for 1 -2 hours or until set. At this stage it will be hard but the caramel is going to be a bit gooey. Perfect for eating! Cut into your slices and place in an airtight container. You can keep these in the freezer. |
