Forever Young: Raw After Dinner Mint Slice with Collagen
PREP TIME
COOK TIME
TOTAL TIME
A delicious take on an old classic - pumped full with skin supporting ingredients such as collagen, coconut oil, and none of the nasties, you can indulge without the guilt!
Mix all base ingredients together and using your hands, press most of the mix into 3-4 small lined tart tins, or one large lined tin. If these tins are too hard work, almost any cake tin or square tin can work too and you can cut them into slices with your hands at the end. Set enough mix aside to make about 6 small balls
Roll the remaining mixture into 6 balls. Roll in shredded coconut to cover
Place in the freezer to set
FOR THE CASHEW CHEESECAKE LAYER
Add all ingredients into a high powered blender and blend until super smooth. You might need to stop and scrap down the sides with a spatular a few times to ensure everything gets blitzed.
Pour over the tart base and place into the freeze for 2 or so hours or until set - I usually do it overnight
DECORATING
Getting the slices out of the tins can be tricky. I suggest waiting approx. 5 minutes after they come out of the freeze to negotiate them out of the tins - that way they are still frozen enough to not be easily damaged but not so stuck to the edge of the tin.
Sprinkle the top with shredded coconut and place balls on top - I did a mix of full, half and quarters. Finish by sprinkling little mint leaves on top.
These slices are great either direct from frozen, or thawed for ½ an hour for a creamier texture.
Will keep in the fridge for a few days or freezer for a few weeks.
