TO SERVE

Instructions
- Line the bottom of a 15 × 25cm brownie or slice tin with baking paper.
- Combine the base ingredients in a food processor, then blitz until it’s a breadcrumb-like consistency and it starts to stick together. Gently press the mixture into the base of the tin and place in the freezer while you make the mint cream layer.
- For the mint cream layer, blend the desiccated coconut on high speed until smooth. Add all the other mint cream ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour over the base, spreading evenly with a spatula. Place in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours to set.
- Combine all the chocolate layer ingredients in the food processor, pulse to combine, then blend until smooth. Gently spread the chocolate layer over the slice, then return to the freezer for 1—2 hours to set.
- Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Slice with a sharp, hot knife. Garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
