Ingredients:

Base layer:

1 cup almond meal 

1.5 cup oat flour 

1/8 tsp salt 

3 tbsp smooth peanut butter 

4 tbsp coconut oil 

4 tbsp maple syrup

Matcha layer:

2 cup cashew 

1/2 cup + 3 tbsp coconut cream 

1/2 cup maple syrup 

3 tbsp coconut oil

4 tbsp hot water 

4 tsp matcha powder 

Chocolate:

4 tbsp cacao powder 

4 tbsp maple syrup 

4 tbsp coconut oil 

Steps: 

1. Soak cashews overnight or soak it for 1-2 hours in hot water 
2. Use a spatula to combine all the ingredients in the base layer together (alternatively, you can use your hands as I found that it was easier) 
3. Press the mixture into a shaped tray. Freeze the base layer for 30 mins. (In the meantime, make the matcha layer.)
4. Blend the cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup and coconut oil until a smooth consistency is achieved.
5. Whisk the matcha with hot water until fully dissolved with no lumps  
6. Blend the matcha mixture with rest of the blended ingredients in step 5.
7. Remove the base layer from the freezer and pour the blended matcha-cashew mixture on top of the base layer. 
8. Freeze for 2-3 hours
9. To make the chocolate topping, Whisk the cacao powder, maple syrup and coconut oil together. 
10. Slice matcha slices into any shape you like. 
11. Coat the entire slice or drizzle the chocolate on top of the slices.
12. Place the slices back into the freezer for another 30 mins 
13. Take it out and let it thaw for 5 mins before serving.
