puffed rice slices

This slices are inspired by the rocky road sweets: something sweet, something chewey inside and a crunchy biscuit base. This is the basic one and I will experiment with various ingredients in the future to get the right consistency. They are refined sugar free, but the filling is made with dates and one little square still does contain 7.7gr of sugar (1.5 teaspoons of your 6 per day allowed!!). But the beautiful thing about making them yourself is that you can suit them to your tastes: I make the ganache topping with 80% dark chocolate, so that the bitterness of the chocolate can cut through the sweetness of the dates. This recipe is gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free.

80gr coconut oil
