How do I prepare the coconut cream for the mint layer?

To get the thick coconut cream, refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. The cream will separate and harden at the top, allowing you to scoop out just the white layer, leaving the coconut water behind.

What is the purpose of using both mint powder and fresh mint in the recipe?

Mint powder contributes a concentrated, consistent mint flavor throughout the layer, while minced fresh mint adds a burst of brighter, aromatic mint and visual appeal to the slice.

How long does the Frozen Summer Mint Slice need to freeze before serving?

After assembling, place the slice in the freezer for 2-3 hours, or until it is completely hardened and ready to be cut into squares.

What is the best way to cut the frozen mint slice into neat squares?

For clean cuts, remove the slice from the freezer just before serving and use a warm knife to slice through the hardened layers, then drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Can I store leftover Frozen Summer Mint Slice?

Yes, this frozen dessert is designed for storage. Keep any leftover squares in an airtight container in the freezer, and they will remain delicious for several weeks.

How to Prepare Frozen Summer Mint Slice [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]

For the Base

Add all the ingredients to a food processor, and blend until a clump forms.
Remove from the bowl of the processor and flatten into a pan, about one half to one centimeter thick. Put the base in the fridge to harden.

For the Mint Layer:

Begin by scooping out 1 cup of the hardened coconut milk – just the white layer on top, not the coconut water at the bottom. When you put the can in the fridge, the two layers should naturally separate.
Place the coconut cream, avocado, ground mint, honey and greens powder in a medium size bowl.
Using an electric hand mixer, beat the ingredients until a smooth, creamy mixture results, with no lumps.
Fold in fresh mint.
Scoop mint mixture onto crust, smooth out the top and place in the freezer to harden.
After 2-3 hours, or just before serving, remove the slice from the oven and cut into squares using a warm knife.
Drizzle chocolate sauce over the squares and enjoy!
