Raw Lemon Slice

Raw Lemon Slice

Ingredients:

Base:

4 Medjool dates, pitted

½ or 50g cup of rolled oats,

1 cup or 100g natural almond meal

1 Tbsp or 5g lemon zest

¼ cup or 50g coconut oil, melted

1 pinch of salt to taste

Top:

1 cup or 130g raw cashews

Boiling water, see method

½ cup or 40g desiccated coconut

2 Tbsp or 30g lemon juice

5 Tbsp or 50g Icing sugar

40g coconut oil, melted

1 tsp or 2g lemon zest 

Method:

1. Soak the cashews in a bowl of boiling water while you prepare the base of the slice. 
2. Add all of the base ingredients to a food processor and blitz until well combined and crumbly. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it seems too dry, add a touch more coconut oil.
3. Press mixture into a lined tin.
4. Set aside while you prepare the top.
5. Add all of the “top” ingredients; not including the lemon zest, to the food processor.
6. Blitz until the mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides where necessary.
7. Spread evenly onto the base of the slice and sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest.
8. Freeze for at least an hour.
9. Once set, take the slice out of the tin and cut into preferred slices.
10. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.
