Ingredients
BASE:
2 cups oats
1/2 cup natural almonds
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
2 tbsp maple syrup
Pinch of cinnamon & salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp water (if needed)
CARAMEL:
1.5 cups dates (in boiling water for 5 mins)
3 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
FILLING:
2 cans coconut cream chilled overnight
1-2 bananas sliced
1 square dark chocolate, shaved
Preparation
Place all ‘BASE’ ingredients into a food processor and process until the texture sticks together. Add the water if needed. Pour into a lined tart tin and press down evenly with your fingers until the tin is completely covered.
Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes on 180°C or until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
For the caramel, add all ‘CARAMEL’ ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth. This may take 5-10 minutes. If it’s not smooth enough and 1 tsp of water or more lemon juice.
Spread caramel over the base and spread evenly with a knife.
Place banana slices on top of the caramel. Put in fridge while you make the cream.
To make the whipped cream, open the chilled cans of coconut cream and carefully scoop off the white cream from the top of the can, discarding any water. You only want to whip the hard creamy parts. With electric beaters, beat the cream until it becomes soft and fluffy. (This may take 5-10 mins).
Spread the whipped cream on top of the banana slices in an even layer.
Place the remaining banana slices on top, and cover with shaved dark chocolate.
Allow to set in the fridge for a few hours so that the coconut hardens.
