Mint slice is a lovely dessert to enjoy after a heavy meal, but most of the store bought mint slices are anything but light. This is one of two recipes I have created, as it’s just too difficult to choose between the crumbly, coconut in a chewy slice, and the smooth creaminess of its softer counterpart. I hope you enjoy this creamy version, which is vegan, refined sugar free, dairy free and gluten free.
