Method
Base:

Leave the honey aside and place all slice ingredients into a high-speed food processor and blend until combined.

-
Once combined, press into a lined baking tray and place in the freezer.
Raspberry “Jam”:
-
Mash the raspberries until combined then add the rice malt syrup and chia seeds.
-
Sit for 10 minutes – the chia seeds will thicken the jam.
-
Spread over the base and freeze.
Chocolate and PB Drizzle:
-
Once the slice has set (usually takes 2 hours) melt down the chocolate, drizzle over the slice.
-
Drizzle the PB then cut into slices.
-
Serve frozen or allow to rest for 5 minutes for a chewy dessert!
