Method

Pulse all base ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor until the mixture sticks together, you want to retain some texture.
Press evenly into a lined tin 23cm x 18cm.
Pop the base into the freezer while you make the filling Green Filling
Blend all the filling ingredients EXCEPT the cacao in a high speed blender or food processor until smooth.
Start with ½ tsp of peppermint oil & increase if needed after blending.
Set aside ⅓ of the filling (this will be the chocolate layer).
Layer ⅓ of your green filling onto your base, then return to the freezer to set a little.
For the chocolate layer, using the ⅓ of filling you set aside, sift in 3 tbs of cacao powder & mix well.
Layer this onto the green filling, then return to the freezer to set a little.
Layer on the remaining green filling & return to the freezer.
Decorate with melted Loving Earth Dark Chocolate.
Cut into portions & store in a sealed container the freezer, allowing to defrost a little before eating.
