AFFORDABLE WHOLEFOODS – RECIPE OF THE WEEK
A delicious lemony raw slice inspired by Loving Earth. This one was made in house by Kym who said it reminded her of her grandmothers lemon slice as a child….only without the refined sugar. The raw lemon and coconut slice is sweetened with dates and maple syrup.
Preparation time: 10 minutes Setting time: 30 minutes
Serving Size: Makes roughly 18-20 serves
Ingredients:
Base
1 cup of organic raw cashews
1 cup fine organic desiccated coconut
1 cup organic Medjool dates
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup organic raw cashews

1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon rind

1/2 teaspoon organic vanilla essence

- Line a medium sized slice tin with baking paper.
- Add all your base ingredients to a food processor and pulse until well combined. Add a teaspoon of water at a time if needed until the mixture starts to stick together.
