Acai, Raspberry and Chocolate Slice
I can never have enough healthy dessert options, particularly to take with me to events where my options are highly processed, non-vegan cakes, or a cold glass of water. This slice makes for a very mild, low sugar snack, that is made with wholesome, healthy ingredients and sweetened lightly with dates. It looks fabulous at high teas, kitchen teas or as part of a dessert display, and stores in the freezer so lasts for several months. If you have allergies, you can easily substitute the flour or berries with something more friendly, and decorate as you see fit. And if your sweet tooth needs a little more, simply add a few extra dates into the berry cream mixture and you'll be back on track.
