Ingredients You Need for Chocolate Mint Slice [Vegan]
How to Prepare Chocolate Mint Slice [Vegan]
To Make the Base:
- Blend all base ingredients except peppermint oil, walnuts, cacao nibs, and fresh mint until sticky.
- Add peppermint essential oil and taste to desired level. The measurements yield to strong tasting bar so taste test as you go along.
- Add walnuts and cacao nibs and pulse on low until the mixture is combined but still retains some small chunks. Then stir through finely sliced mint leaves.
- Press firmly into a tray lined with baking paper then place in refrigerator to set.
To Make the Filling:
- Blend coconut in a high speed blender or food processor until it forms a creamy liquid coconut butter, then add cashews until completely blended into a liquid butter also.
- Add remaining filling ingredients except spirulina and blend until super creamy and smooth.
- Pour half over the chocolate base, smooth down until flat, then place in freezer to set.
- Add spirulina to the remaining half of the filling and blend again, then pour this green layer on top of the white layer and smooth down nice and flat again. Place in the freezer for a few hours to set completely, or the refrigerator overnight. Slice into bars once set.
To Make the Topping:
- Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl, leave to cool slightly, then drizzle over the slices. Top with fresh mint, and place back in refrigerator for the chocolate to firm before serving.
