Guest Recipe: Jenna Felicity - Choc Peanut Butter Slice

Just hearing the name of this slice makes me hungry! I have decided to share some of my favourite recipes from fellow bloggers and friends. 

This one is from a good friend of mine Jenna. Jenna and I met a year ago at a health and wellness networking event. We have since caught up often for workouts, dinners, breakfast and other health and wellness events around Perth. Jenna was the one to introduce me to the world of paleo. She is very knowledgeable, funny and pretty and I highly recommend you go have a look on her website jennafelicity.com !

This is Jenna's Choc Peanut Butter slice that she shared with me in 2 occasions. I hope you like it as much as I did... 

RECIPE

CHOC PEANUT BUTTER SLICE
Makes approx. 16 small pieces

Ingredients

Base:
1 cup almonds
½ cup dates
1 tablespoon protein powder
1 teapsoon coconut water

Filling:¾ cup peanut butter (or any other nut butter)
½ cup coconut oil, melted
¼ cup coconut water
Sprinkle of sea salt

Topping:¼ cup coconut oil, melted
½ cup cacao powder
2 tablespoons coconut milk
1 tablespoon sweetener (I used rice malt syrup)
Sprinkle of sea salt

Method

1. To make the base, use a food processor to combine the almonds, dates and protein powder. Once thoroughly mixed, add the coconut water and process again.
2. Line a small baking tin or plastic container with gladwrap (so the slice comes out easily). Press the base mixture in firmly.
3. To make the filling, combine all ingredients and pour over base. It will need to get a bit hard before adding the topping, so place in the freezer for 10 minutes while you make the topping.
4. To make the topping, combine all ingredients. When the filling/base is firm, pour or spread chocolate over. 
5. Leave to set in the freezer until hard, then cut into pieces. Store in the fridge and enjoy!
