To make the base layer, blend all of the relevant ingredients until they turn into a thick paste and then add to a backing tray lined with parchment.

Spoon mixture into a lined slice tin (20x20cm) and press down with the back of a spoon. Place in the freezer.

To make the caramel layer, add the caramel layer ingredients to a high speed blender and process until completely combined and smooth.

You may need to add a little more water to help blend the ingredients. Spoon the mixture on top of the base, smooth with the back of a spoon and return it to the freezer to set.

To make the chocolate layer, melt the coconut oil in saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the maple syrup (or honey), whisking briskly until well combined.

Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well mixed through. Pour the chocolate on top of the caramel filling and make sure it is evenly spread. Place back into the freezer and let it set completely (around 1 hour). Please note that the top layer does not need to be made until the middle layer has set completely.

Remove from the tin, slice straight away and store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Eat when ready!
