Magical Ingredients
· 1 cup of soaked cashews
· 50gm of coconut oil
· 2tbs sweetener (coconut nectar) or sweetener of choice (rice malt, agave or maple syrup
· ½ tsp vanilla extract
What to do
Nougat Layer
· Blend cashews until smooth paste, add in other ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.
· Top base layer with nougat and place back in the fridge/freezer to set
Magical Ingredients
Caramel Layer
· 200 g dried dates -soaked in a few tablespoons of hot water for at least 10 minutes – use the liquid in the mixture to help reach desired consistency.
· 2 tbs coconut oil
· 3 tbs of natural peanut butter
· 3 tbsp of hulled tahini
· 3 tbs coconut nectar or sweetener of your choice (race malt, maple or agave syrup)
· ½ tsp sea salt
· 1 tsp vanilla extract
What to do
Caramel Layer
· Blend all ingredients in food processor until it forms a smooth caramel – I like my caramel to be thick but add some water or a dash of coconut cream to thin out if mixture is too thick.
· Once the mixture is smooth, add in a big handful of peanuts and stir into caramel by hand. Spread out evenly over the nougat layer and place back in the fridge/freezer to set.
Magical Ingredients
Chocolate Layer
· 100 g of cacao butter, grated or finely chopped
· 40 g raw cacao power
· 40g coconut nectar
What to do
Chocolate Layer
· Place a small saucepan of water over low heat, once simmering gently place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan. Add the cacao butter to the bowl and stir occasionally until melted completely.
· Remove bowl from heat and stir in cacao powder using a balloon whisk.
· Allow the mixture to cool to approx. 28 degrees before adding in rice malt syrup (this helps to avoid splitting).
· Mix well then pour chocolate layer over the caramel. Place back in the fridge/freezer to set.
