I have another\u00a0RAW\u00a0<\/strong>treat for you all on this rainy Sunday. Perfect for afternoon ‘baking’.<\/p>\n

It resembles a caramel slice, but with a twist of coconut in the caramel and with crunchy almonds in the middle layer.<\/p>\n

You get the delicious soft bottom layer, a sweet, smooth middle caramel layer, crunchy nuts and the bitterness from the dark raw chocolate on the top.<\/p>\n

It only takes about 20 minutes to make and 2 hours to set in the freezer – and best of all? You don’t need any heating so you keep all the nutritional values!<\/p>\n

      1.

      2. For the Caramel Layer:\u00a0<\/strong>Combine dates, shredded coconut, vanilla bean, coconut oil & almond milk in a blender and blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as you go along. Take your bottom layer from the freezer, and spoon the caramel on top of this in the loaf pan. Sprinkle with chopped almonds and place back in freezer.<\/li>\n
      3. For the Chocolate Layer:\u00a0<\/strong>Combine coconut oil, dates, raw cacao, salt, almond milk and rice malt syrup in a blender and blend until smooth.
