This healthy Mars bar slice is to die for! It’s literally one of my favourite recipes :) I hope you enjoy it xx
BASE INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup almonds
- 14 fresh medjool dates
- 1 scoop Shape Health protein superfood (can omit – if not using, you will not need to add water)
- 1 tbsp. cacao powder
- 3 tbsp. water
FILLING INGREDIENTS
- 1 can coconut cream
- 8 fresh medjool dates
- 1 tbsp. coconut oil
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. cacao powder
- 1 pinch salt
TOPPING INGREDIENTS
- 3 tbsp. melted coconut oil
- 3 tbsp. cacao powder
- 3 tbsp. rice malt syrup (or sweetener)
METHOD
- Blend the almonds in a food processor, add the remaining ingredients (besides water), and blend well.
- Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it starts to stick together. You want it to be sticky but still a little crumbly.
- Press into the base of a pan and put in the freezer
- Heat all the filling ingredients in a saucepan over low heat (this will take up to 20 minutes), stirring continuously. When all the dates have melted and it starts thickening, this is when it is ready.
- Allow to cool, and then pour over the base. Put in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Mix the topping ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the slice.
- Allow it to set in the freezer for at least 3 hours before cutting.
- Store in the freezer and remove 5–10 minutes before serving.
It makes 12 slices.

Is it like a ice cream?
Kind of, I guess! xx
What size pan would be required for this recipe?
Looks amazing, can’t wait to try your recipe.
Thanks!
Hi Beth! It was about 21 x 8cm :) xx
Hi! I’m wondering if you chopped or pureed the dates before melting them. Also did you use a can of coconut milk using only the cream once separated? Thank you! Can’t wait to make this!
Hi Andrea, I just chopped up the dates using kitchen scissors. And I used the whole can of coconut cream, but coconut milk would also work :) I hope you enjoy it! xx
I had trouble with the topping I melted the coconut oil & added it to the other ingredients I couldn’t get it to combine the coconut oil separated from the other ingredients any advice
Hi Lyn, I’ve never had these troubles. I melted my coconut oil so that it was a complete liquid (not just soft) and stirred it really well. If you let it sit, it might separate. So I would stir it really well and then pour it straight on :) xx
Thank you for your response
