Raw Chocolate & Goji Berry Slice

One word for these little gems . . . Decadent!  They are absolutely lovely as a mid morning or afternoon treat, when that chocolate craving just needs satisfying!

Ingredients:

• 80g raw cacao nibs
• Thumb size piece of peeled fresh ginger
• 300g pitted dates
• Handful each of dried goji berries, cranberries and blueberries
• Handful of unsalted whole almonds / hazelnuts / walnuts
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 80g of Purition shake – any flavour
• 50g coconut oil
• Ground turmeric (optional)
• Desiccated coconut (optional)

Method:

• Blitz the raw cacao nibs in a food processor until they are quite fine
• Add the fresh ginger (and turmeric if using) and whizz for a couple of seconds
• Add the pitted dates and process until they are quite smooth
• Add the dried berries and your choice of nuts and whizz again (leaving them as fine or chunky as you like)
• Add the remaining ingredients and whizz until you can see the mix forming chunks. (You can always add a little water at this stage if mixture is a little dry)
• Turn the mixture out into a brownie tray, approx. 26 x 20cm (lined with cling film or similar so you can get the slice out easily) and press down firmly with the back of a spoon.
• Sprinkle with desiccated coconut if you wish.
• Freeze for 20 minutes. Turn out and slice. Keep in the fridge for up to a week.
