Ingredients
For The Base
- 1/2 Cup Ground Almonds (grind in your blender)
- 2 Cup Oat Flour (you can grind normal oats in the blender to create oat flour)
- 2 tbsp Melted Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp Non Dairy Milk
- 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Pinch Salt
For The Caramel Filling
- 2 Cups Soaked & Pitted Medjool Dates (soak for 10 minutes in boiling water)
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Pinch Salt
For The Chocolate Topping
- 1 Cup Cacao Butter or coconut oil
- 3/4 Cup Cocoa / Cacao Powder
- 5 tbsp Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Start by lining a brownie tin with baking paper (so you're able to pull out the slab later)
- Add all of the base ingredients to a food processor and pulse until well combined - the mixture should come together when squeezed in your hands (if it doesn't, add more plant milk)
- Press the mixture into the brownie tin until it is densely packed and evenly spread, then place in the freezer
- Rinse out your food processor then start making the caramel filling
- Add the soaked dates, coconut oil, salt, vanilla and plant milk to the processor and blend for about 2 minutes (you will have to scrape down the sides a few times at first)
- A creamy, caramel consistency should form
- Spoon this on top of the base and spread evenly, then place back in the freezer
- For the chocolate topping - simply melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, then whisk in the cacao and maple syrup
- Pour this over the caramel layer and place in the freezer to set (about 10-15 minutes)
- Pull out the slab (using the baking paper) and slice into small squares. If you want, you can dip your knife in hot water, dry it, then slice. This way it will slice through the chocolate layer more easily without cracking it
