Ingredients
BASE
- 1 cup of raw almonds
- ¼ cup of Loving Earth Cacao
- ¼ cup of Loving Earth Shredded Coconut
- 1 cup of pitted dates (I find Medjool the best)
FILLING
- 2 cups of raw cashews that have been soaked overnight, rinsed & drained
- ¼ cup of melted Loving Earth Coconut Oil
- 6 pitted dates
- ¾ cup of tightly packed fresh mint leaves

TOPPING
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.
