HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

Base:

• 1/2 cup GF oats 
• 1/4 cup medjool dates, pitted
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp Naked Harvest's Chocolate Moon Mylk

Filling:

• 1/2 cup almond butter 
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted 
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla 
• 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts 
• 1/2 tsp Naked Harvest's Chocolate Moon Mylk

Top layer:

• 1 cup vegan dark chocolate 
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts

HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT:

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius. 
2. Using a baking tray, place all the hazelnuts on and distribute evenly. 
3. Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Once roasted, use a tea towel to rub the skins of the hazelnuts off. Set aside. 
4. Line a loaf/brownie tin and set aside. 
5. Using a food processor, blend the oats until it forms a powder. Then pulse in the dates until it's a course meal. Add in the remaining base ingredients and blend until combined. 
6. Empty the mixture into the lined loaf pan, and use your hands to pack the mixture down firmly. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the mixture (if desired). Transfer to the freezer while you prepare the remaining layers.
7. Using a medium bowl, combine all the filling ingredients (except the hazelnuts)
8. Once combined and smooth, fold through the hazelnuts. 
9. Pour on top of the frozen base layer and set in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. 
10. Once 5 minutes are left of cooling, melt the chocolate with the coconut oil. 
11. Pour the chocolate as evenly as possible over the other layers and sprinkle remaining hazelnuts on top. 
12. Set in the fridge for another 10 minutes, or until chocolate is set.
