BASE
1 cup almond meal
10 medjool dates
1 tblspn chia seeds
1 tspn maca powder (optional)
1 tspn coconut oil
TOP
1 cup macadamias
3 medjool dates
1 ½ cups desiccated coconut
2 tblspns maple syrup
1 tspn coconut oil
Put all the ingredients for the base into a food processer and process for 1 minute. Use your fingers to push this mixture down firmly into a 20cm square lined cake tin to form the base Refrigerate for ½ an hour. Meanwhile, place all the ingredients for the top into a clean food processer. Process for 1 ½ – 2 minutes until reasonably smooth. Remove base from fridge and spread this top mixture evenly over the base until smooth (once again I used my fingers to do this). Place in the freezer for ½ an hour then refrigerate until ready to cut and serve. Store leftover slice in an airtight container in the fridge.
Note: Times may vary for the food processing steps depending on your processor.
Options: You could sprinkle coconut or chopped macadamias over the top when serving.
