Raw Choco-Mint Filling
Ingredients:
* 1 cup cashew butter
* 1/2 cup coconut cream
* 1/4 cup maple syrup
* 1 tablespoon peppermint extract
* 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
* Pinch of sea salt
- Combine all the ingredients in a food processor, processing until the mixture forms a cohesive yet slightly textured dough with a stickiness that holds its shape.
- Position the cake base at the bottom of a well-greased and floured springform pan, ensuring it is evenly aligned before proceeding. Allow the chocolate mixture to chill and set in the refrigerator as you prepare the refreshing mint layer.
- Blend all ingredients together on high speed until the mixture is incredibly smooth and velvety in texture. It will likely take a minute or two to complete this task.
- Gently pour the refreshing mint layer over the base, ensuring an even distribution across its surface. Prior to adding the chocolate topping, refrigerate the mixture for a sufficient period to permit setting, thereby ensuring a smooth and even finish.
- To create the chocolate topping, combine all the ingredients in a heatproof metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water, allowing the mixture to gently melt as the steam from the water circulates through the bowl. Stir thoroughly and consistently throughout the process to guarantee a uniform melting of all ingredients.
- Once the mint layer has firmed up, carefully pour the chocolate layer over the top and refrigerate for a further 1-2 hours or preferably, allow it to set completely overnight.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
