Make the Base:
In a food processor, blend almonds, coconut, dates, cacao, maple syrup, and salt until crumbly but sticky. Press firmly into the pan to form the base. Chill.
Make Raspberry Layer:
Clean the processor. Blend raspberries, desiccated coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, and coconut oil until creamy. Spread over the base. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Chocolate Layer:
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Pour over the raspberry layer and spread evenly.
Decorate & Set:
Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
Slice & Serve:
Use a hot knife to slice into bars or squares. Keep chilled until serving.
Use raw cacao for a richer chocolate taste.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
For extra texture, add chopped nuts or seeds to the base.
