Make the Base

Method

  • Step 1

    To make the base, prepare a 6-count silicon muffin tray. Set aside. Add almonds to food processor and blend for a few seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until crumbly. Press into the silicon muffin tray with your fingers, and put in the freezer while you make the filling.

  • Step 2

    To make the filling, blend all ingredients until smooth in a Vitamix blender, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Spoon the filling over the base and place in the freezer to chill.

  • Step 3

    Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the filling.

  • Step 4

    Store in the freezer. Eat straight from the freezer, thawing for a few mins if required.
