  • ½ Tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil Melted
  • 3/4 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 2/3 Cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/2 Cup Organic, Fairtrade Espresso Cooled

Dipping Liquid:

  • 2 Cups Organic Fairtrade Coffee Cooled
  • ¼ Cup Maple Syrup

Base Cream:

  • 3 Cans Organic “Thai Kitchen” Coconut Milk Fat 400mL/ea
  • ¼ Cup Organic Coconut Oil Liquid
  • ½ Cup Organic Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp “Frontier” Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Coffee Extract

  • ½ of Base Cream
  • 1/3 Cup Lucuma Powder

Dark Brown Cream:

  • 1/3 Cup Cacao Powder

Decoration:

  • ½ Cup “Enjoy Life” Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the cake ingredients and spread thinly onto two parchment-lined baking trays. Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool.
  • In another large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the “base cream” ingredients until smooth, ensuring each of the ingredients is room temperature. In case the mixture separates, simply heat over a double boiler until it comes together.
  • Divide the “base cream” in half and add Lucuma to one half and cacao powder to the other. Mix well and refrigerate for several hours until fully set.
  • To assemble, cut each of the thin cake layers in half, forming 4 total cake layers.
  • Dip each of the cake layers into “dipping liquid” right before layering.
  • Divide both dark cream and light cream into half and set aside.
  • In a rectangular glass baking dish start the assembly with a cake layer, followed by dark cream, another cake layer and topped with light cream. Continue layering until all ingredients are used up and top with chocolate chips.
  • Allow to cool for at least an hour before cutting.
