For the base:
1 3/4 cup almond meal
1/2 cup tapioca flour: Also known as
1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil: Melted
2 tbsp caramel honey: I used Mount Somer's one! It was DELISH!
For the caramel filling:
1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup coconut oil: Melted
1/4 cup caramel honey: Or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
For the top:
Half cup vegan chocolate
4 tbsp coconut oil
How to make:
Preheat oven to 180°C and line a 20cm square pan with baking paper. Set aside.
Add almond meal and tapioca flour into a large bowl, and mix until combined. Add coconut oil and caramel honey, and mix until it all comes together.
Press the mixture onto the bottom of the pan and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until it is just lightly browned on top. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Using a medium bowl, mix together all the filling ingredients. Pour over the base layer (ensuring base is completely cooled)
Set in fridge for 30 minutes to an hour. Ensuring its no longer runny to touch.
Once the middle layer is set, using a small bowl, melt together coconut oil and chocolate (this can either be done over stovetop or microwave).
Pour chocolate over the caramel layer and set for a further 30 minutes.
Once fully set, remove from pan, slice and enjoy!
Tips:
I set the caramel layer overnight and it worked perfectly!
I use a knife that's been heated with hot water to cut through the layers and it works amazingly!
Can last in the fridge for up to a week
