Vegan almond, fig, prune and date slice

Vegan slice

This slice was absolute heaven! I added a few extra ingredients into this time in the hope that it would taste better and stick together better and it did!!
For the topping
¼ cup of water
3-4 large medool dates
8-10 dried pitted prunes
5-10 medium to large dried figs


For the base
2 tbsp of ground LSA, (mine was chia, bulgar and quiona) I used this to make the mixture more like a biscuit (optional)
2/3 cup of almonds and walnuts
3 tsp of coconut sugar (add to taste)
2 dates
Desiccated coconut (optional)

Steps:
1) Blend each dried fruit separately e.g figs and dates with a little bit of water
2) Once blended leave to sit for 10 minutes to allow them to get sticky and gooey! (this step plays a key role in keeping the slice moulded together)
3)Whilst the dried fruit is sitting, add the nuts into the blended/food processor and blend until a powdered consistency is reached
4)   Next blend the ground nuts with the LSA and coconut sugar and add a small amount of water to make the base stick together
5)  Compact the base into a baking dish with a spoon until flat 
6) Next add each layer of dried fruit individually and smooth over with a knife
7)   Finally add toppings e.g chopped walnuts and coconut
8)  Bake at 120 degrees for 20-30 minutes and leave in the fridge to set
