This super berry slice has a creamy lemon cashew centre, a ‘super berry’ layer on top of a delicious fudgey chocolate brownie base. It is the ultimate sweet indulgence, without any guilt.
For the berry layer, we’ve added a teaspoon of freeze dried maqui and acai berry powder. These superfood additions are optional, however they do enhance the nutritional value as well as contributing to the vibrant pink colour.
We recommend serving this super berry slice with fresh raspberries, cacao nibs and/or a drizzle of raw chocolate.
