• For the slice
• 2 cups almond meal
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup dates, soaked and chopped
• 1/2 cup boiling water

• 1/4 cup dates, soaked and chopped

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
2. Mix almond meal, coconut sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Add dates, water, coconut oil and aquafaba. The mixture will be quite wet, as it is essential for the slice to be moist.

4. To make the sauce, heat coconut milk, coconut sugar and chopped dates over a low-to-medium heat. Remove from heat when sauce thickens.
