The Base:
The Filling:
The Topping:
1 – Optional – lightly toast cashews and almonds – either on a lined baking tray at 175’C/350’F for 5-10 mins or just throw them into a dry fry-pan/skillet (make sure you toss them around occasionally so they don’t catch and burn on one side) until lightly golden and deliciously fragrant.
2 – Place almonds and cashews into your food processor or blender and process until they break down into a fine, sandy looking crumb.
3 – Add hemp seeds, if using, along with your vanilla, water, cinnamon and salt and process again until a sticky “dough” forms.
4 – Press base mixture into a lined loaf pan then pop it into the freezer while you make your filling.
Note – I have a little 13x8cm pan and it was the perfect size) – or, if you don’t want to have to bother with cutting your slice you could just spoon it into little chocolate moulds or even line a mini muffin tin with paper cupcake cakes – either will work just fine.
5 – Place all filling ingredients into your food processor /blender and process until deliciously creamy and well combined.
6 – Spoon/pour/spread salted caramel filling onto your base and pop it back into the freezer to set while you make you dark and delicious chocolate topping.
7 – Melt chocolate and coconut butter/oil by your preferred method – I like to do mine over the stove, double broiler style.
8 – Once your chocolate topping is melted, pour over salted caramel/base, sprinkle with sea salt and return the the freezer for 20-30 minutes to set.
Enjoy!!
