Inspired by the talented cook Averie, I tried making a healthier and more Asian version of her Menthe Bars.
Ingredients:
Base:
1/2 cup ground flax
1/2 cup soaked dried longan
1/4 cup soaked goji berries
1/2 cup ground almonds
2 tbs spoons raw honey
Minty middle layer:
flesh of 2 young coconuts blended finely
3 tbs raw honey
5 drops of peppermint oil
100g Agar powder/ half pack of agar strips soaked
Chocolate top layer:
1/2 cup of coconut or macadamia nut oil (or cacao butter if preferred)
1/2 cup raw cacao
2 tbs tahini or other nut butter
3 tbs coconut sugar or raw honey
For the base: blitz all ingredients in the food processor and press in flat onto a square tin pan. Place it in the freezer covered in plastic wrap.
For the minty layer: blend all ingredients smoothly in the blender and spread atop the base layer. Place in freezer for 20 min till hardened.
Mix ingredients for top choc layer together and pour over the mint layer.
Chill and viola! Minty delight.
