👩‍🍳 Step by step (with a few extra tips)

1. Line a slice tray with greaseproof paper.
2. Base: blend all the base ingredients in a food processor or Thermomix until it sticks together when pressed. Press it firmly and evenly into the tray.
3. Middle: blend the dates, maple syrup, almond butter, hemp seeds, liquified coconut oil, maca, salt and Lemon oil really well until smooth and sticky. Spread it over the base and pop the tray in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Top: gently melt the coconut oil (never in the microwave!), then whisk in the maple syrup and cacao powder until you have a smooth, glossy paste.
5. Pour the chocolate over the middle layer, smooth it out and scatter a handful of shredded coconut over the top.
6. Refrigerate again for about an hour, until set.
7. Cut into squares with a hot knife and serve!
