INGREDIENTS

Base:

BOTANISTRY GLOWING GREENS, 2 tablespoons

Dates (pitted), ¾ cup

Coconut oil (melted), 2 tablespoons

Walnuts, 1 cup

Creamy Mint Filling:

Cashews (soaked overnight or 4 hours), 1 cup

Coconut cream, ½ cup

Dark chocolate, ½ cup

Coconut oil (melted), ¼ cup

Cold water, 2 tablespoons

Peppermint extract or essential oil, 1 teaspoon

Maple syrup, 2 tablespoons

METHOD

For the base, place all the ingredients for the base in a food processor and blend until it forms a crumb-like consistency. Press into a lined loaf tin and store in the freezer for at least an hour.

For the creamy mint filling, it is important to have a high-speed blender to achieve a smooth creamy consistency. Blend all the ingredients on high speed for 1 minute, scraping down the blender sides as you go.

Pour the filling mixture over the base, place back in the freezer, allowing to set for at least 1 hour.

Melt the dark chocolate and pour over the top. Add some cacao nibs for extra crunch. Place in the freezer for at least another hour to set fully.
