Recipe's preparation

  1. Add coconut oil to bowl, 80 degrees for 1 minute

    add all other ingredients except dates and blitz on speed 6 for 20 seconds

Tip

You can use a mix of fruit. I've used a combo of dates, prunes, dried apricots and raisins before. The coconut oil helps to set it. You can play with this amount as it'll depend on the type of fruit you use.

    My 3yr old just had a piece of this and immediately said "Mum I'm still hungry!" So it's a bit hit for us! I had to use a bit more coconut oil as well as it was a bit crumbly but once I'd pressed it in the tin and put it in the freezer for an hour it was perfect. Really fudged type texture and yum - will definitely be making often for snack time. (I used Cacao instead of Cocoa).

    We also love this slice. My husband makes it in a jiffy. However we also had to add more coconut oil. This needs to be refrigerated or it goes too soft and falls apart.

    A very healthy snack that's very quick and easy to make. I used only 400g dried fruits but still found it a bit too sweet for my taste  so I will experiment with slightly less fruits next time. I used 55g coconut oil and didn't find the slice crumbly at all. Very yummy. This will now be a regular snack in our house from now on.

    I found this a little crumbly, so we increased the coconut oil to 75g and it is much easier to eat! You could also increase the dates if desired. 

    Great recipe. Thank you.

    I absolutely love this snack! I originally made it with almonds instead of walnuts and was just as delicious if not better. Thank you. Love

    This isn't actually gluten free, unless you specify gluten free oats...which are hard to come by!

    Maybe Quinoa Flakes or Buckwheat Flakes might work instead?
