Rainbow Paddlepop Slices
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 1 cup pitted medjool dates
- pinch of salt
- 3 cups cashews, soaked overnight & drained
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 2/3 cup rice malt syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2/3 cup melted coconut oil
- extra water if needed
- vegan friendly pink food colouring
- vegan friendly blue food colouring
- vegan friendly yellow food colouring
Preparation
To make the base, blend the almonds and coconut until a fine meal forms (using a food processor) - add the dates last and blend until it forms a dough. Press into a lined loaf tin and freeze
For the filling, Blend everything apart from the coconut oil in a high powered blender until smooth and creamy. Add the oil last and blend until well combined and smooth
Split into small bowls and colour into your desired colours using natural food dyes of your choice. (Use basic colour mixing methods, I have a background in painting so this is simply intuitive for me but a quick google search will help you if you don't know what colours to mix)
Using a spoon, spoon the colours randomly over the slice until you've used all of the colours up. Using knife, swirl the colours around. Give the whole loaf tin a shake to flatten out the slice. Freeze the whole slice overnight
Slice with a hot, wet knife and enjoy! Keep it in the freezer and just defrost slices as you need
