Yep, you heard it. Almond flour "shortbread" layered with biscoff spread, date caramel and chocolate. Is this the best tasting thing I've ever made? Possibly. Do I recommend you try it? Absolutely. You can easily omit the biscoff spread or substitute it with any of your other favourite spreads such as peanut butter or choc hazelnut!
Ingredients
Base:
60g almond flour 40g vegan vanilla protein powder 60g coconut butter 40g rice malt syrup A pinch of salt
Biscoff layer:
3tbsp biscoff spread
Caramel:
235g dates 20g vegan protein powder(I recommend using a vanilla/caramel flavoured one) 50g almond butter A pinch of salt Chocolate: 100g vegan chocolate* *do yourself a favour and buy a good quality dark chocolate. I used a low quality baking chocolate which did not melt down well and had to add extra coconut oil to get it to the right texture to be able to coat the bars. Don't make the same mistake as me.
Start by mixing all ingredients for the base and press it into the bottom of a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Melt your biscoff spread in the microwave for a few seconds until runny. Pour over the base and leave in the fridge to set up. Soak your dates in boiling water. Drain and add to a blender/food processor with the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Add to your base and set the pan in the freezer for at least two hours. Melt your chocolate in a bowl over a pot of boiling water. Either dip your bars in the choc to coat them completely or drizzle the chocolate on top and place them on some parchment paper in the fridge to set. Enjoy!
