Salted Caramel Slices (Vegan, Gluten-free, Oil-free, No Refined Sugars)

I’ve been experimenting with a healthy salted caramel lately. Now I’m pretty happy with it and decided to combine it with something. So what about raw vanilla  slices, topped with this? These also make a great cold treat in summer when you have them semi-frozen. I won’t try and convince you to make this treat with many more words.

Keyword Caramel, No Refined Sugars, oil-free, Salted, Slices

Servings 1 27 x 18cm tray

Equipment

• 27 x 18cm tray

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 150 g almonds (or other nuts), soaked in filtered water for at least 8 hours, then drained
• 105 g dates pitted and diced
• 50 g desiccated coconut

For the vanilla filling:

• 210 g cashews soaked in filtered water for at least 3 hours, then drained
• 105 g dates
• 100 g desiccated coconut
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-2 teaspoon vanilla paste or essence

For the salted caramel:

• 2 dried figs diced
• 1/4 cup dates pitted and diced
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup water more, if too thick
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• For garnish I have used some chopped walnuts.

Instructions

• Pulse the almonds to fine crumbles and transfer to a medium sized bowl. Pulse the dates and add to the bowl. Pour in the desiccated coconut and mix well.
• Line the cake tin with baking paper. Pour the dough for the crust onto the tray and spread it evenly and firmly. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
• For the vanilla filling, blend all ingredients to a fine cream. I like to start with the dates and water and then add the rest.
• Take the cake tin out of the freezer and pour the filling into it. Spread it evenly.
• Then make the ‘salted caramel’ by blending all ingredients to a creamy paste. Place a few dollops of the ‘salted caramel’ on top of the vanilla layer and then use a teaspoon to make swirls. Gently shake it to make it set evenly again.
• Place in the freezer until set. Let defrost a little before cutting.
