THE FOOD MATTERS TEAM
If you're a fan of choc peppermint biscuits or peppermint slice, prepared to be amazed! We've got a much healthier version for you, minus the refined-sugars and condensed milk out of a can! 

BASE 

  • 1 cup almonds 
  • 1 1/2 cup dates 
  • 1/4 cup raw cacao 
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

    PEPPERMINT FILLING 

    • 1/4 cup coconut cream 
    • 1/4 cup shredded coconut 
    • 2 cups raw cashews (soaked overnight)  
    • 1/4 pure maple syrup 
    • 1/2 cup coconut oil 
    • 4-5 drops peppermint oil (depending on how strong you like it) 

    CHOCOLATE TOPPING 

    • 1/4 cup raw cacao 
    • 1/4 cup coconut oil 
    • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 

    WHAT TO DO 

    1. Using your food processor or high powered blender, combine the ingredients for the base and pulse until a crumble mixture is formed. Press mixture firmly into a lined small slice tray. 
    2. Place mixture into the freezer for 1 hour to set while you create the filling. 
    3. While your base is in the freezer setting, combine all filling ingredients in the food processor or high-powered blender and process until well combined and smooth. Add a little more water if needed to create a smooth mixture. 
    4. Remove base from freezer and top evenly with the peppermint filling. Smooth this layer and place back in the freezer for 1-2 hours. 
    5. Once your filling is set, prepare your chocolate topping by melting cacao, coconut oil & maple syrup over a low temperature until well combined. 
    6. Remove your slice from the freezer and layer evenly with the chocolate topping. Put back into the freezer for 1/2 an hour for the topping to set. 
    7. Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving. Best to slice while frozen.
