Method
- 1. Line a 20cm x 20cm slice pan with baking paper.
- Put dates in a bowl and cover with boiling water, leave for 10-15 minutes or until soft
- Combine all base ingredients in a food processor and blitz until the mixture is smooth, press into the tin, you might need to use your hands or the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly. Place in freezer
- Drain the dates and add to the food processor or blender along with the other filling ingredients. Blitz until smooth.
- Pour over the top of the base and return to the freezer.
- In a small saucepan over a low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cocoa and carob powder and maple syrup
- Pour chocolate mix on top of the caramel layer making sure it covers it evenly.
- Return pan to freezer to set.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
- I suggest you take the slice out of the freezer for a few mins to soften before cutting.
