Delicious Raw Ginger Slice

I came across a recipe months ago just here for a raw ginger slice. I finally got around to making it today- my way. I'm not in to "plant based" or vegan diets so I have reinvented the recipe for myself & it is so delicious!

My amounts are pretty approximate as I was making it up as I went along.

Make to taste & according to what you have a available & your own needs & preferences.

I really like this simple base that's blended altogether in a food processor:

1/2c walnuts, 1/2c raw cashew pieces & around 8 large soft, stoned dates.

Add a few pieces of glace or crystallised ginger.

Blitz in together until it's nice & fine & blended.

Add a tbsp of melted coconut oil & pulse to mix.

Press in to container- couldn't think what to use & then I found this pie dish.

I've used some natural waxed paper underneath.

Pop the base in to the fridge.

Topping:

1 cup of broken raw cashews soaked in unchlorinated water for 4 hours, or overnight. 

Drain- & put in to the food processor with

10- or so stoned dates, 1 large tbsp of honey, a squeeze of lemon juice, a tsp of true vanilla essence, 1/2 tsp of good salt, 3 good tsps ginger powder.

Blend until smooth.

Add 1/2 cup of coconut cream or milk & 1/2 cup of a mix of melted butter & coconut oil.

Blend some more.

Taste & adjust the balance to suit.

Pour over the base & pop in to the fridge until set.

Keeps well in the fridge.
