Raw Caramel Slices
Servings 30 pieces (but depends on how small you cut them)
Ingredients
The Base
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews
- 1/2 cup soft dates, pitted
The Caramel Layer
- 1 1/2 cups soft dates, pitted
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
The Chocolate Layer
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
Instructions
For the Base Layer:
- Combine the raw cashews and dates in a food processor. Blend until the dough sticks together. Add a bit of water if the mixture is too dry.
- Line a glass baking dish with parchment paper. Press the base mixture evenly into the dish.
For the Caramel Layer:
- In the same food processor container (no need to wash), blend all caramel ingredients until smooth. Once again, add a bit of water if the mixture is too dry.
- Press the caramel mixture on top of the base and put in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
For the Chocolate Layer:
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients for the chocolate layer and stir until smooth. Spread over the caramel layer and freeze for at least an hour, until firm.
- Slice into squares and serve. These bars are very rich, so I usually slice into small squares. Store the remaining bars in the freezer. Enjoy!
