Vegan Chocolate Slice
Ingredients
Base
- 2 cups whole raw almonds
- ½ cup LSA, linseed, sunflower & almond meal
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- ¼ old-fashioned rolled oats, gluten-free
- ⅓ cup raw cacao nibs
- ½ cup cacao powder
- 1 large ripe banana
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil, room temperature or melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting
- 220 g canned coconut cream, refrigerated overnight to scoop out solids.
- ⅓ cup desiccated coconut
- 200 g dairy-free dark chocolate block, broken into squares
Instructions
- Note: Ensure you have a can of coconut cream chilled in the refrigerator overnight before beginning, as you'll need to scoop out the solid parts for the frosting.
Base
- Line Baking Pan: Line a 9-inch x 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Process Almonds: In a high-speed food processor, pulse almonds until coarsely broken. Add LSA, desiccated coconut, oats, cacao nibs, and cacao powder, pulsing until well combined.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Add the banana, coconut oil, and vanilla, processing until the mixture starts sticking together.
- Press into Pan: Evenly press the mixture into the prepared pan, creating a firm, even base. Set aside.
Chocolate Frosting
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, and allow it to cool for 10 minutes until it’s just warm, not too hot. Set aside.
- Prepare Coconut Cream: Scoop out the solid part of the coconut cream from the can and place it into a mixing bowl. Add desiccated coconut and mix until well combined.
- Combine: Slowly pour the cooled chocolate into the coconut cream mixture, whisking vigorously to blend. Some solid chocolate shards can remain for added texture.
- Spread Frosting: Pour the frosting over the base and smooth it out evenly.
- Set in Fridge: Refrigerate the slice for 1-2 hours, or ideally overnight, until firm.
- Cut and Enjoy: Once set, remove from the pan, slice into squares, and enjoy!
Notes
- Store: Keep the chocolate slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

What Type of Coconut Cream Should I Use?
Opt for full-fat canned organic coconut cream to ensure your frosting sets properly and provides a creamy texture.
Is This Vegan Chocolate Gluten-Free?
Yes, by using certified gluten-free oats and ensuring all other ingredients are certified gluten-free, these slices can be made safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
Expert Tips
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality organic ingredients where possible for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
- Texture Check: If the base mixture feels too dry, add a little more coconut oil to achieve the desired consistency.
- Frosting Consistency: Ensure the chocolate is cool, not hot, but still liquid before combining with the coconut cream to avoid seizing.
What can I use instead of LSA mix?
If you don’t have LSA mix (linseed, sunflower, and almond meal) you can substitute it with a homemade mix of ground seeds and nuts. Simply blend equal parts of linseed (flaxseeds), sunflower seeds, and almonds until finely ground.
Alternatively, you can use almond meal!

I notice you use chocolate for the topping. Doesn’t that have dairy in it?
I used dairy free dark chocolate 🙂
hi, have you by chance tried this with a different nut. i have a friend who is vegan, gluten intolerant and also allergic to almonds and want to make her a baked treat for her bday. walnuts perhaps?
Hi Katy, apologies for my delayed response! I think walnuts would be perfect! Because of the texture of walnuts, I see no issue in the base still sticking together, so it should work for you. I hope this helps! x
