Base

1. In a food processor, blend almonds, cashews and mesquite powder until fine.
2. Add Buckinis and blend briefly. Gradually add medjool dates (one at a time) until crumb begins to stick together.
3. Add coconut oil. If the mixture sticks together when pressed in between your fingers pop it in to a lined tray. If mixture doesn’t hold add extra dates.

Creamy Cashew Caramel

1. In a high speed blender add cashews, vanilla, lemon and sweetener of choice. Mix on high until smooth and creamy.
2. Add tahini and coconut butter and again mix on high until well combined.
3. Pour caramel on crumb and set in the freezer for 1 hour. Whilst setting in the freezer devour what caramel’s left over in your blender! It tastes amazing and then start on your chocolate drizzle.

2. Add coconut oil and mix until well combined.
3. Drizzle on caramel and set in the freezer for 10 minutes, if you can wait that long. Enjoy x
