Vegan White Christmas Slice Recipe

Serves: 18 pieces
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 1 hour chilling

Ingredients:

2.3 oz (65 g) cocoa butter (see Note 1)
3/4 cup (107 g) raw cashew nuts
3/4 cup (70 g) unsweetened desiccated coconut
1/8 tsp fine salt
3 tbsp (60 g) maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (65 g) dried cranberries
1/2 cup (75 g) pistachio nuts
1/4 cup (35 g) currants

Instructions:

1. Line a 4x8 inch (10x20 cm) loaf tin with baking paper or cling film (see Note 2).
2. Melt the cocoa butter in the microwave or using a double boiler.
3. Process the cashew nuts and coconut in a blender until the mixture starts to clump together. Tip the mixture into the melted cocoa butter and add the salt, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir until smooth, using your spoon to press out any large lumps. Alternatively, you can blend these ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.
4. Stir through the cranberries, pistachio nuts and currants. Tip the mixture into the lined loaf tin, evening out the surface with the back of a spoon. Top with a few extra cranberries and pistachio nuts if desired.
5. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until firm. Once firm, cut into pieces.

Notes:

1. Cocoa butter - Cocoa butter, or cacao butter, is usually sold in buttons or chunks in the health food section of supermarkets, at health food stores or online. If you can’t find it, you can use melted coconut oil instead.
2. Scaling the recipe - You can easily scale this recipe up or down and set it in a range of containers. If you double the recipe, you can use an 8 inch (20 cm) square cake tin. You could also spoon the mixture into mini muffin or cupcake cases for individual portions.
3. Storage - Store the slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It also freezes well. If you leave it out at warm room temperatures, it will start to soften slightly.
