No-Bake Coconut Squares

This super yummy, vegan and (pretty healthy) No-bake coconut slice was sent in by our lovely Alive Tribe member Brooke – check out her Instagram page full of yummy plant based treats and recipes @easyplantlife.

This one is perfect for those of you here in Bali who don’t have a proper oven ;).

They keep really well in the freezer or fridge for a sweet healthy treat any time. Don’t leave them out in the hot Bali sun for long or they’ll melt!

TIME SERVES DIFFICULTY
15 mins 1-4 (depending on if you want to share)

INGREDIENTS

Coconut Base

1 cup raw cashews

1 1/2 cups coconut flakes

1 tbsp organic coconut oil

1 tbsp coconut syrup 

1/2 cup pitted dates

1 tsp salt

Chocolate Sauce Top

4 tbsp organic coconut oil

5 tbsp raw cacao powder

2 tbsp coconut syrup 

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

Garnish

1/4 cup slivered or chopped almonds

METHOD

Blend the ingredients for the coconut base together in a food processor (don’t over-blend!)

Use any square dish (I usually use 1 6×6 inch plastic tupperware) and sprinkle a thin layer of slivered almonds in the dish first.

Press the coconut mixture into an event layer using a spatula.

Blend all the ingredients for the chocolate sauce in the food processor next, then pour immediately on top of the coconut base and use your spatula to cover evenly.

Sprinkle sliced almonds on top then refrigerate (or freeze) for minimum 3 hours or until chocolate top is hard.

Slice and enjoy!
