Tropical Raw Slice

Posted by Lorna Macchia on

The weather is warming up and the passionfruit are falling from the vines faster than we can eat them.  Rich in fibre, vitamin C and carotenes these fruits are the perfect flavour booster in raw slices and summer puddings.   With coconut, banana, dates and vanilla this easy slice is the epitome of summer snacking, and keeps well in the freezer (if no one knows about it!).

Preparation Time: 30 mins

Setting Time: 2 hours

We use all organic or biodynamic ingredients.
