Ingredients

Base

  • 12 medjool dates pitted
  • 1 cup raw macadamias or cashews
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao powder

Peppermint layer

  • 11/2 cups macadamias or cashews, preferably soaked for a minimum 4 hours
  • 1/2 cup desiccated organic coconut
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 4 drops peppermint essential oil food grade only or 1 tsp peppermint extract

Chocolate Layer

  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup raw cacao powder

Instructions

  • Make the base
    Process the macadamias in a food processor or blender until they resemble fine crumbs. Next, add the cacao powder and process until well combined. Then, add the dates and process until a sticky dough is formed. Spoon mixture into a lined square baking tin and smooth with the back of a spoon.
  • Make the peppermint layer
    Process the macadamias and desiccated coconut to a high speed blender and blend until nice and smooth.  Add the remaining the maple syrup and peppermint extract to the mixture and blend until creamy. Add to the base and smooth over with a spatula or back of a spoon and place into the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
  • Make the chocolate layer
    Melt the coconut oil in saucepan on low heat. Once melted, 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 peppermint layer.  Put back into the freezer and let it set completely (around 2-3 hour).
  • Slice and store
    Remove from the tin, slice straight away and store in an airtight container in the freezer
