Serves: 12
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Setting Time: 1 1/2 hours

Ingredients
3 cups desiccated coconut
1/2 cup tahini
1/2 cup canned coconut cream (I recommend Ayam brand)
30 drops liquid stevia (or to taste)
1/2 batch of raspberry jam (see below)
150g dark chocolate (85-90%)
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp sesame seeds

Method

1. In a large bowl combine the coconut, tahini, coconut cream and stevia. This is best combined using your hands.
2. Press into a large loaf tin lined with baking paper. Spoon over raspberry jam (see below for recipe) and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
3. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler (bowl sitting over a pot of gently simmering water), or in the microwave in 30 second increments. Leave the chocolate to cool slightly (you don’t want it to be super hot). Gently spread over the raspberry jam layer and sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Place in the fridge to set for approximately 1 hour.
4. Remove from the fridge, slice and serve.
