Ingredients

1 cup spelt flour
1 cup Desiccated Coconut
½ cup Coconut sugar
3 tbsp almond meal
1 tsp baking powder
⅓ cup coconut Oil
3 tbsp soy mylk (or any plant based mylk)

CHERRY FILLING

1 cup pitted cherries
1 tbsp water
3 tbsp maple syrup

CHOCOLATE TOPPING

Loving Earth Dark Chocolate or Hazelnut Mylk Chocolate

Method

Preheat oven to 180C.
Prepare the base by combining the flour, coconut, sugar, almond meal and baking powder in a bowl.
Add in the remaining wet ingredients and mix together.
Press the mix into a greased slice pan (I used a square slice pan).
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until slightly risen and golden.
Meanwhile make the cherry filling. Place the filling ingredients in a small saucepan, simmer over low heat and allow to reduce and thicken.
Once the filling has cooled pour over the base, and allow to set in fridge for 1 hour.
Top with melted chocolate and refrigerate again.
Slice and serve!
