This recipe was created for lovers of deep rich pure chocolate. To satisfy a craving without being heavy, so no oils or refined sugars. This recipe uses healthy ingredients like sweet potato, walnuts, pure cacao and oats.
I like to make use of ingredients that I already have in the kitchen, as we try to be a waste free space. We had sweet potatoes and oats, so I thought I would try these as the main ingredients. So here is the recipe. Enjoy!!!
1st Layer
- 2 cups of oats ground fine in your mixer with the s blade.
- 2 peeled and cooked sweet potatoes
- 1/2 Cup of Orange Juice or Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Cup of pure cacao powder
Blend the above in your mixer with the s blade until a smooth batter consistency.
Spoon into a large spring form pan lined with baking parchment. I used a large square one. But you could also make this round as a yummy chocolate cake.
2nd Layer
This came out as a slightly runnier consistency which made the end result more moist and gooey. Yummier!!! When I use cups as a measure I use mugs.
- 2 bananas
- 1 Cup of walnuts
- 1/2 Cup of pure cacao powder
- 1/2 Cup oats ground fine in your mixer with the s blade
- 1/4 cup of orange juice or Maple syrup.
Spoon over the top of the first layer. Bake in the oven around 20 mins 170 centigrade. Or until top feels firm and springs back. All ovens seem to be different. So check after 15 mins. If not ready bake a bit longer.
When cool turn out onto a big plate.
3rd Layer
- 200g cashews
- 1/2 Cup of dark raw cacao chips/nibs or break up a bar of raw cacao chocolate to make to 1/2 Cup
- 3 Tbsps of pure cacao powder
- 3/4 cup of any plant based milk
Blend the above until it is a smooth mixture and all ingredients have been blended. Spoon over the two layers and sprinkle raw cacao over the top or break up pieces of raw cacao chocolate.
Leave in the fridge for the top to set. This will stay fresh for 3 days. Also it does not dry out but stays moist and delicious.
