Ingredients

Nougat:

  • 1 ½ cups raw cashews - not soaked
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup filtered water - plus more when needed
  • 1 tbsp melted coconut butter
  • 2-3 tbsp rice malt syrup
  • pinch of salt

Caramel:

  • 1 ½ cups medjool dates - pitted and soaked in warm water for 1 hr
  • cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • cup coconut oil - melted
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Chocolate Coating:

  • 1 cup cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup melted cacao butter
  • cup 80ml pure maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Make the nougat first by blending the raw cashews and coconut flour in a high powered blender until a fine flour forms. Transfer to a bowl and add coconut butter, rice malt syrup and water and mix until soft dough forms. Add more water if it's too dry. Transfer to a lined loaf tin and freeze.
  • To make the caramel, blend the dates, maple syrup, almond butter, salt and vanilla in a food processor until creamy. Add the coconut oil last and blend until smooth. Spread over the nougat and freeze the whole slice overnight.
  • Prepare the chocolate by whisking the chocolate ingredients together until no lumps remain.
  • Remove the slice from the freezer and using a sharp knife, slice into bite-sized chunks of your desired bar sizes.
  • Dip each bar twice in chocolate, transfer to a cooling/drying rack, and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat.
