Magical Ingredients:
- 2 cups unsalted nuts of choice
- 1 cup Shredded Coconut
- 1/2 cup Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
- 1 - 2 tablespoons Coconut Flower NectarRaw Honey, Pure Maple Syrup or Rice Malt Syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Powder
What to do:
- Pulse nuts and coconut in a blender or food processor until finely chopped.
- In a bowl, mix nuts and coconut with coconut oil, chosen sweetener and vanilla powder, combine well.
- Spread mixture onto a lined slice tray. Cover with a layer of baking paper and press down firmly to spread evenly, approximately 1/2 cm thick.
- Freeze for 2 hours or until firm. Cut into shapes approximately 4cm x 4cm and enjoy straight from the freezer.

Make It Personal:
- Add your own flavour combinations such as 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, orange or lemon zest, 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice or 1 teaspoon Carob or Cacao Powder.
- Sweeteners such as Raw Honey and Pure Maple Syrup are optional if you prefer yours without. If leaving sweetener out we recommend adding an additional tablespoon of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to help the slice to hold together well.
