Serves: 16-20 small squares
 
Ingredients
  • Base
  • 2 cups almonds
  • ½ cup LSA (linseed, sunflower & almond meal)
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut
  • ¼ gluten free rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup raw cacao nibs
  • ½ cup cacao powder
  • 1 large banana
  • 4 Tbsp coconut oil, room temperature or melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean extract
  • Frosting
  • 220g canned coconut cream, refrigerated overnight
  • ⅓ cup desiccated coconut
  • 200g dark cooking chocolate, broken into squares
Method
  1. Base
  2. Line a 9” x 9” square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. In a high speed food processor, add almonds and pulse on high until just broken up, leaving a few bigger chunks.
  4. To the processor, add LSA, coconut, oats, cacao nibs and cacao powder, pulse on high until well combined.
  5. Add in the banana, coconut oil, banana and vanilla, blend on high until the mixture begins to stick together.
  6. Press evenly into prepared pan.
  7. Frosting
  8. Melt chocolate over a double-boiler or microwave until smooth and completely melted. Set aside to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  9. Spoon out the solid coconut cream fat from the can and weigh out 220g, discard any liquid.
  10. Add coconut cream to a mixing bowl and stir through desiccated coconut.
  11. Once melted chocolate has cooled down to room temperature or near to it, slowly pour into coconut cream mixture, whisking fast whilst pouring it in.
  12. Continue to whisk the cream mixture until smooth and chocolate has combined well with the cream. If there is any solid chocolate shards still in the cream, this is ok, it adds texture!
  13. Pour frosting evenly over base layer.
  14. Set in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until completely set. Best refrigerated overnight.
  15. Remove from pan and slice into squares.
  16. Enjoy!
