How to Prepare Turmeric Ginger Slices [Vegan]

To Make the Base:

Add all ingredients, except the buckwheat grouts, into your food processor or blender.
Pulse until well combined, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally or use your blender tamper to push the ingredients into the blades.
Once all combined add the buckwheat and give it a couple of pulses to slightly combine, but you want to keep the buckwheat whole to get the crunch.
Once all combined, press into a lined baking dish. Using a tablespoon or a silicone spatula, evenly press the mixture out and flatten it down.
Pop it into the freezer to set while you make the icing.

To Make the Icing:

Add all of the ingredients into your food processor or blender and blend until all is combined.
This may take a few minutes as the oils in the sesame seeds heat up and begin to form a creamy-like texture.
Using your tamper and stopping to scrape down the sides will be needed.
When all combined, remove and spread over the crunchy base.
Use a tablespoon or silicone spatula, evenly spread and press the mixture down.
When done, pop back into the freezer.
For best results let it set overnight, however 2-4 hours should be fine.
Slice and serve when ready.
