Salted Caramel Slice

A vegan and refined sugar free treat that’s oozing with a salty gooey date caramel on a crunchy oaty base and encased with a thin layer of dark chocolate. This healthier caramel slice is perfectly balanced, yet still super rich and decadent – a beautiful gift to bring to a dinner party that’ll probably confuse your guests in the best way possible. Yes you can make caramel from dates!

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180c celsius and line a medium-sized tin with baking paper. Place the crunchy base ingredients into a food processor and pulse until you form a crumb. Pour the crumb into your baking tin and press down evenly across the base. Transfer to the oven to bake for 8 minutes or until lightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Place the cooled tin into the freezer whilst you make the caramel.
2
Drain the dates and place them into a cleaned food processor. Add the rest of the caramel ingredients, then blend the mixture until smooth and thick (about 3 minutes).
3
Take the tin out of the freezer and pour the caramel over the top. Smooth the mixture using a spatula and gently guide it to the edges to cover the whole base.
4
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a heat proof bowl over a pot of hot water. Once melted, pour the mixture evenly over the slice and sprinkle some extra sea salt on top. Cover and place into the freezer to set for 4 hours before removing and slicing into 10 even squares. Store your slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
