Oh man, if you are a fan of mint slice biscuits, (even if you aren’t!) then prepare to be amazed! This slice literally couldn’t taste any closer to the real thing, minus any refined sugar or dairy!
I have been huge fan of mint slice biscuits ever since I was a little girl trying to sneak one from the pantry, but with this recipe I no longer have to feel guilty for succumbing to my minty chocolatey guilty pleasure!
Try to find the most natural peppermint oil you can to flavour this slice as that way you can reap some of the health benefits of mint too. Peppermint can be fantastic for your digestion so a little slice of this after dinner with a cup or herbal tea is the perfect way to unwind and deal with any sugar cravings!
Even if you aren’t worried about the health benefits of this slice still give it a go, I promise even the biggest raw dessert non-believers will LOVE these!
I have to give a mention to my amazing partner for spending time making set of new back drops for me! I did some serious white washing today too so be prepared to be bombarded with pictures of it all over instagram hehe

This slice is amazing! What a fantastic recipe. Had to stop myself from eating the whole thing:) do you keep it stored in freezer or fridge?
I am the same! So addictive ! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂 i store mine in the fridge, but it would last even longer stored in the freezer xxx
So glad I found you on Instagram. I’ve looked through all of the recipes and I can’t wait to try them out! I’m trying to cut down on refined sugars etc but I love sweets so this blog is a god send. Thank you =)

Hiya love your recipes can’t wait too start making them. Just wondering what coconut cream us can you make this yourself? I live in Ireland so I dunno if I can buy it as I’ve never seen it in health shops etc
Just made this-its in the freezer setting and I cant wait for it to come out (I ate a fair bit before it even made it into the tin and judging from that- it is delicious

Im sooo excited for this!!! I stumbled upon you on instagram and I did a little happy dance!! Im wondering if I can replace the rice malt syrup with maple syrup?? Thanks doll!!
Thankyou lovely! Of course you can swap for maple syrup! 🙂 xx
Hi! So excited about your recipies. I am in the middle of making this and my mint cream is looking very beige instead of your nice white… any hints for where I may have gone wrong? More coconut?
This recipe looks so amazing! I was just wondering if the cashews were meant to be soaked or used just as they are? 🙂
Just used as they are 🙂 xxx
