Ingredients:
For the base -
- 1 cup mixed nuts
- 1 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the beetroot topping -
- 1 can coconut milk, chilled in the fridge for at least 24 hours
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ pack silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons BeetActive® Concentrate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons stevia or xylitol
- ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Method
- To make the base simply place all of the ingredients in a high-power blender and whizz up until almost smooth and the mixture is starting to stick together (add a dash of water if you need to).
- Scrape the mixture out and press into a lined loaf tin, then set aside while you make the topping.
- From the chilled coconut can, scrape out half of the solidified coconut cream and place in a clean blender with the frozen banana chunks, silken tofu, BeetActive concentrate, vanilla, maple syrup and chosen sweetener.
- Whizz up until smooth and a wonderful pink colour!
- Break up the raspberries into small pieces and scatter over the base to cover. Now pour over the beetroot mixture and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
- When you’re ready to serve, remove the loaf tin from the freezer about 10 minutes beforehand. Carefully turn out then slice into bars. Scatter with dried rose petals - then serve!
- Keep any remaining slices in the freezer for up to 1 month.
