Filled with a maple-sweetened cashew cream mousse, the base is made from blended nuts, nut butter, vanilla, maple syrup and coconut oil. Drizzle with optional raspberry coulis, perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Maple syrup is a nice natural sweetener, much better than white sugar. It’s a tad expensive, but you don’t need much. And it’s good to splurge on the real thing. Maple is ‘tapped’ from trees in Canada, so no trees are chopped down to make it. Choose a good organic brand, to ensure it’s not filtered with bone char.
