Raw Caramel Slice Bites
Raw Caramel Slice Bites is the best raw dessert ever. You can't beat the combo of the coco-nutty base with the gooey caramel and the raw chocolate on top.
Ingredients
Base layer
- 1/2 cup macadamias
- 6 medjool dates pitted
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
Caramel layer
- 1/2 cup macadamias
- 7 medjool dates pitted
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or rice malt syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Chocolate layer
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or rice malt syrup
- 1/3 cup cacao powder
Instructions
- To make the base layer Add the ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until it resembles fine crumbs and sticks together when pressed. Spoon mixture into a 24 mini muffin pan (see note below) and press down with the back of a teaspoon. Place it in the freezer.
- To make the caramel layer. Add the ingredients to a high speed blender and process until completely combined and smooth. Spoon the mixture onto the bases and smooth over with the back of a teaspoon (see note below) and place back into the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
- To make the chocolate layer Melt the coconut oil in saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the sweetener. Whisk briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well mixed through. Pour the chocolate on top of the caramel layer and place back into the freezer and let it set completely, approximately 3-4 hours. Once frozen, they are much easier to remove.
- Storage. I keep mine store in the freezer in an air tight container and remove them a few minutes before serving/eating.
Notes
- I recommend using a mini silicon muffin tray as it will be a much quicker task preparing and also when they are ready to remove from the tray. Alternatively, you can cut out little strips of baking paper to use as tabs at the bottom of the regular mini muffin tray, to make it easier to remove them from the muffin tray.
- The cook time does not include the time it takes for the raw caramel slice bites to freeze — approximately 3-4 hours, depending on the temperature of your freezer.
