Instructions
 

BASE LAYER METHOD

  • Add the almond flour, desiccated coconut, crystallised ginger and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
    Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and orange juice. Mix thoroughly until the mixture comes together and holds when pressed.
    Line a loaf tin with baking paper, leaving some paper overhanging the sides to make the slice easy to remove.
    Transfer the almond mixture to the tin and press down firmly and evenly to form the base.
    Place in the freezer while preparing the middle layer.

MIDDLE LAYER METHOD

  • Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
    Spoon the mixture over the chilled base and spread evenly.
    Return to the freezer while preparing the topping.

TOP LAYER METHOD

  • Place the carob buttons and coconut oil in a small heatproof bowl.
    Melt gently, stirring until smooth and runny.
    Pour the melted carob over the middle layer and spread evenly.
    Sprinkle lightly with salt.
    Return to the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the topping is set.

TO SERVE

  • Remove the slice from the freezer and allow it to sit for a few minutes before slicing. Cut into squares or bars and enjoy chilled.
