This slice is a wonder-treat at Aro Ha - everyone loves it! It plays deliciously with different textures and flavours and utilises the berries from our garden. Any berry will do here, but we like them sour to balance out the sweetness of the slice - raspberries and blackcurrants work best.
The rich flavour of gingerbread is so inviting, and the combined aromas of the spices used in this cake make it a wonderful treat any time of year. I’ve included it in this chapter because I think serving it warmed with a rich caramel sauce makes the perfect winter dessert.
Most sweet treats are sugar laden and contain refined grains, both of which leave us with next to no nutrition and a sugar low. When we provide our body with a sweet treat that is actually full of wonderful real whole food nutrients we feel satisfied and content. This lemon slice is a lovely healthy sweet treat to satisfy sweet cravings and provide your body with essential nutrients to work optimally.
Made with real mint to colour and flavour the filling, this slice is vegan and free of gluten and dairy. The chewy base is made of buttery pecans and Medjool dates, while the filling contains avocado to make it creamy, and shredded coconut adds texture. It is a treat you can store in your freezer and nibble on whenever you feel like something sweet. Soak the cashews a few hours before you start.
