DIRECTIONS
- Start with the base. Place the almonds and walnuts into a food processor and blend until fine. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until the mixture is well combined starts to clump together. Press into the base of silicon mini muffin trays (should make around 24). Place in the refrigerator.
- In a blender, place all the ingredients for the middle layer except the coconut oil. Once the mixture is smooth (you may need to stop and scrape down the sides every now and then), drizzle the coconut oil into the blender while it is blending. Once combined, take the muffin trays out of the refrigerator and spoon on top of the base layer until they are about 2/3 full. Place in the freezer.
- Rinse out the blender to make the top layer. Once again, blend all the ingredients apart from the coconut oil. Once a smooth consistency, drizzle in the coconut oil while blending. Take the trays out of the freezer and spoon on the top layer. Place back in the freezer for at least two hours (overnight is also fine).
- When you are ready to serve these little delights, bring them out of the freezer. Pop them out of their little cases. Whisk up the chocolate drizzle. Spoon the mixture onto the desserts slowly and it will harden as you pour it on. If you want to decorate with anything (like cherries) on top, now is the time before it sets!
- Let them thaw out for 15 mins or so before eating :)
