Chocolate orange slice

May 10, 2019

Chocolate and orange is a classic flavour combination and a favorite of mine. These bars are quick to make, contain nourishing fats, and are high in fibre; making it a filling and satisfying snack. This slice keeps together well out of the fridge so makes the perfect accompaniment to a child’s lunch box.

CHOC ORANGE SLICE

Ingredients

Base
3 cups desiccated coconut
1 cup cashews
zest of two oranges
4 tbs orange juice
2 tbs maple syrup

Place all ingredients for the base in a food processor, and process into a fine crumb.
Press the base into a lined slice tin.
Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Remove base from tin, and cut into slices.
To make the topping, melt cacao butter and coconut oil in a pot over a low heat.
Remove cacao butter and coconut oil from the heat and add cacao powder, maple syrup and salt. Whisk to combine.

Prawns are a summer classic, and they are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, selenium and iodine. These nutrients are key for great thyroid function, healthy ovulation and progesterone production as well as immune function and healing. We suggest keeping prawns in the freezer to defrost for a quick dinner, although you are welcome to use fresh prawns when they are available.
