Vegan Raw Tahini Squares

Anyone who knows me well will know I LOVE Tahini. My sister declares that I am the only person that can lick it from the spoon. I put it in my smoothies, use it for my favourite salad and steamed veggie dressings and dollop it into houmous.

This recipe was always going to be a winner with me.

I look forward to hearing if you love it too.

Servings: Serves 6 consider making enough for 24 because these are seriously delicious.

Ingredients:

• SLICE:

• 1 cup cashews blitzed in the food processor until it resembles a fine powder

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tbsp rice malt syrup or other sugar substitute

• 2 tsp raw cacao powder

• 2 tsp tahini paste

• pinch of sea salt

• 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (optional but delicious)

• CHOCOCOLATE TOPPING:

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tbsp raw cacao powder

• 2 tsp rice malt syrup or other sweetener

How to make it:

• Start with the choc top by melting the rice malt syrup, cacao and coconut oil together. I melt the coconut oil over a bowl of hot water but mostly I prefer living in a country where my coconut oil is always liquid.

• Pour 1-2 tsp into each silicon mini muffin tray (about 2mm high). Put in the freezer to set.

• For the tahini slice, melt rice malt syrup and coconut oil together in a small bowl over simmering water and stir into the cashew powder along with the cacao, tahini and vanilla.

• Roll into small balls and press onto the set choc top and press to even out. See if you can avoid licking your fingers!!!!

• Place into the freezer for 15 minutes, eat and enjoy
