I have so many people around me these days that are going vegan or have been vegan. I think its great that we challenge ourselves and try and change up our eating habits. Which means it could be a bit harder for me to bake with all the time which is why I am not vegan , however I love trying out new things. Hence this vegan mango coconut slice. I think these slice are absolutely delicious and super easy to bake.
Here’s how you bake them! P.s if you bake them, post them on your social media with #bakedbyammna or tag me in Instagram @bakedbyammna
INGREDIENTS :
Almond Base –
- 256 g almond flour
- 128 g vegan butter, melted
- 32 g shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp flaxseed
Coconut/Cashew Layer –
- 256 g cashews, soaked for 2 hours
- 128 g coconut cream
- 32 g shredded coconut
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 32 ml water
Mango Layer –
- 256 g mango, cubed
- 4 tsp tapioca flour, you can find this at your local grocery store in the asian food section
- 2 tbsp water
METHOD :
- Soak cashews for 2 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 176C. Add all the almond base ingredients to a food processor and blend until broken down and combined.
- Then pour it into a cake pan (Mine was 8 inches x 8 inches)lined with baking paper, make sure u have some baking paper hanging out so it’s easier to pull out once complete. Bake at 176C for 17-20 minutes, until golden brown. Leave to cool.
- For the coconut/cashew layer – drain the soaked cashews. Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Start with less water and add as needed to thin to a pudding like consistency.
- Pour it over the almond base and freeze for about 15 minutes to let set.
- While coconut layer freezes, mix the tapioca powder and water until the powder is dissolved. Add the mixture and the mango chunks to a blender and puree.
- Add the mango puree on top of the coconut layer and spread evenly. Freeze the bars until they are fully frozen through and hardened, about 2 hours.
- Once frozen, cut the bars into equal pieces. Let the bars fully thaw before enjoying. Store in the refrigerator to maintain the perfect creamy consistency.
