(a twist on Rebecca’s ‘cheese’ cake) **amounts of all ingredients depend on the size of the dish you are using – if you make too much of the nut/seed mix, freeze it to use in another batch of the slice or have it for breakfast sprinkled on fruit! De-frost a packet of frozen fresh coconut and blend to a pulp with the juice and zest of two limes and some vanilla powder … and a few table spoons of coconut oil. Set aside. Blend almonds, pecan, pumpkin seeds and macadamias to almost powder. Add them to a deep frypan with … Continue reading Coconut and Nut Slice
