Create a vibrant, summery dessert that is as satisfying as it is stunning. Here’s how to create perfectly even, little squares of layered mint and chocolate ganache…
Ingredients (Makes 20 pieces)
Chocolate layer:
- 100g Vita Coco Coconut Oil, melted over low heat
- 50g cocoa powder
- 3 tbs raw honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp mint extract (or to taste)
- pinch of salt
Mint layer:
- 150g Vita Coco Coconut Oil – room temp (not melted)
- 3 tbs raw honey
- ¾ tsp mint extract (or to taste)
- 1.5 tsp spirulina powder and 1 tsp turmeric (or use a few drops of natural green colouring)
Method:
For the chocolate layer:
- Whisk the cocoa powder into the melted coconut oil a little at a time and then whisk in the other ingredients until smooth.
- Use a spatula to smooth it into a small parchment paper lined tray roughly the size of your hand/bit smaller than A5 / approx. 17cm x 11cm (we used a glass lunchbox). Place in the fridge to set for 10 minutes.
For the mint layer:
- Use a whisk to blend the ingredients for the mint fudge layer together until smooth.
- Smooth over the chocolate layer and set in the fridge.
- Slice into squares and enjoy straight from the fridge.
