Servings: 15

Preparation duration: 25 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2/3 cup agave nectar or 3/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/3 cup cocoa powder or raw cacao powder

2 1/2 tablespoons brown rice syrup or coconut nectar syrup

Coconut Whipped Cream, for garnish (see link below)

1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, melted

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

2 cups rice crisp cereal (use certified gluten-free if necessary)

1/3 cup dark chocolate chips, melted

1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, for garnish

1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 8 hours

1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt, or to taste

4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Equipment:

bowl

baking paper

cake form

pot

frying pan

blender

spatula

aluminum foil

Cooking instruction summary:

Place cashews in a bowl and cover with 1-inch of water. Let soak for about 8 hours until soft and plump.Grab an 8-inch square cake pan and line it with 2 pieces of parchment paper, one piece going each way so it's easy to lift out.For the crust: In a large bowl, add the rice crisp cereal and cocoa powder. Stir to combine. In a small pot, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Pour the oil and syrup onto the rice crisp and stir very well until combined. If the mixture seems a bit dry you can add another 1/2 tablespoon of syrup and stir again. Spoon the crust mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out. Grab a small piece of parchment paper and use it to press down the crust until packed and even. Place the pan in the freezer so the crust can set while you prepare the filling.For the filling: Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. In a small pot, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Pour into a high-speed blender. Now add in the agave nectar or maple syrup and vanilla, followed by the cocoa powder, melted chocolate, fine grain sea salt, and drained cashews. Starting on low, blend the mixture until it comes together and then gradually increase the speed until the mixture is super smooth. If using a Vitamix use the tamper stick to get it going.Remove crust from freezer and pour on all of the filling. Smooth it out with a spatula and then place the pan back in the freezer (uncovered is fine) for about 3 hours (or longer if desired) until the filling is firm to the touch.Slice and serve chilled straight from the freezer with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and chopped hazelnuts.Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. I like to freeze the slices, then wrap them in tin foil, and place in a sealed glass container for maximum freshness.

Food Joke

These two country boys, brothers, were knocking around one lazy summer day and thought it would be a good prank to push over the outhouse. They crept up from an advantageous direction like a couple of commandos, pushed the outhouse over on one side and headed for the woods. They circled round and returned home an hour later from a completely different direction thus, trying to divert suspicion from themselves.Upon returning, their father approached them with switch in hand and bellowed, "Did you two push the outhouse over this afternoon?"The older boy replied, "As learned in school, I cannot tell a lie. Yes, Father, we pushed over the outhouse this afternoon."At this revelation, the farmer proceeded to flail the two boys severely and sent them to bed without supper.In the morning, the two boys meekly approached the breakfast table and took their seats. Everything was quiet until their father finally said, "Have you two learned your lesson?""Sure, Dad!" said the big brother, "But, in school we learned that George Washington admitted to HIS father that he`d chopped down a cherry tree and he was forgiven because he told the truth.""Ah yes!` said the farmer, "BUT, George`s DAD, wasn`t in the cherry tree when he chopped it down!"
