Posted By Russell James On February 6, 2009 @ 10:00 pm In Full Recipe List,Recipes / Desserts,Recipes / Raw | 4 Comments
I was inspired to create a raw version of this after seeing something similar ‘cooked’ in a cafe one rainy afternoon. The mix of chocolate and orange is a classic and can really hit the spot when you’re looking to spoil yourself or your guests.

For the Crust: ¾ Cup Carob Powder 1 Cup Almonds ½ Cup Dates 4 TB Coconut Butter 2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract 2 Tsp. Cinnamon ¼ Tsp. Sea Salt |
Step 1 First process nuts, cinnamon, salt and carob powder into small crumbs.
Step 2 Add dates, coco butter and vanilla extract and process again.
Step 3 Press into the bottom of 9” square pan and place in fridge whilst working on filling.
Note: Before making this chocolate you should place the grated cacao butter in the dehydrator to melt. Alternatively you can melt it in a bowl over another bowl of hot water.

Step 2 Add cacao butter and cacao powder, and blend again.
Step 3 Pour chocolate mixture onto base and use a spatula to achieve a level surface.
Step 4 Drizzle the marbling mixture over the top in lines using a plastic bottle or a spoon. Drag a toothpick across the top to create the marble effect.
