How yummy does my Raw Bounty Slice look?
This is one epic tasting raw dessert!
The coconut filling which is from my raw bounty bites recipe, was the basis for making this dessert. It is so tasty!
I originally got the inspiration to make raw bounty bites from the classic chocolate bar – Bounty. I wanted to create a much healthier version which made with wholefood ingredients free from additives and preservatives.
Guess what……I have a date free base now!
I decided to make this slice with a date-free base as I have had a few requests for less dates in my recipes.
So you can use this base with some of my other raw slices, raw peppermint slice, raw chocolate raspberry slice and even my raw caramel slice bites (you may need to half the recipe though).
Major important tip about this recipe
Make sure that you allow it to freeze for 3-4 hours before you slice it, so that the coconut layer is completely frozen, otherwise the chocolate layer may split when you slice it.
However, the slice can be hard to slice when it is completely frozen, so I suggest running the knife under hot water. That should help you to slice it.
The result is AMAZING and so worth the extra time to let it set!
Enjoy

Raw Bounty Slice
Raw Bounty Slice. This deliciously healthy slice is gluten, dairy and refined sugar free. It is one seriously epic dessert.
Ingredients
Base
- 1/2 cup cashews or macadamias
- 2/3 cup almond meal
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Coconut layer
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup coconut milk, canned variety
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cups organic shredded coconut
Chocolate layer
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
Instructions
- To make the base, process the cashews, almond meal, coconut oil, maple syrup in a blender or food processor until they resemble crumbs. Spoon mixture into a lined square baking tin (20x20cm) and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place in the freezer while you make the coconut layer.
- To make the coconut layer, add the melted coconut oil and coconut milk to a medium size bowl and whisk to combine well (you want to make sure that there is no separation between the oil and milk). Next, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract and sea salt and mix well. Then, add the shredded coconut and mix until well combined. Pour over the base, smooth with the back of a spoon and place back into the freezer while you make the chocolate layer.
- To make the chocolate layer, melt the coconut oil in saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the maple syrup, whisking briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well mixed through. Pour the chocolate on top of the coconut layer and make sure it is evenly spread. Place back into the freezer and let it set completely. You want to ensure that all layers are frozen, so it may take 3-4 hours.
- Remove from the tin, slice straight away and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Notes
- You may need to run the knife under hot water to make it easier to slice.
- Cook time does not include the time it takes for the raw bounty slice to freeze — approximately 3-4 hours, depending on the temperature of your freezer.

Your images are divine! We truly do eat with our eyes because I can almost taste these. I am bookmarking this as I really want to try this for myself (I don’t know if they’d turn out as pretty as yours though!)
Dominique | Perchance to Cook says
This sounds SO good! I love bounty candy bars, but I have to eat dairy-free, so these are the perfect healthier bounty replacement! Do you think these would work with almonds instead of cashews?
