Hi Joss! Great, thanks for the feedback! You can certainly add the coconut oil to help with forming the base. Also, if maple syrup is too sweet, brown rice syrup might be an option as well.

Just made this! Looks exquisite. However, due to the low grade food processor I have, my base didnt form properly. Very crumbly texture and didn’t hold well when cut into. Perhaps some coconut oil in the base would help hold? I also found the caramel section a bit too sweet for my taste. So those who aren’t super sweet toothed, hold back on the maple.
Other than that, a very decadent raw vegan caramel slice!

I had an amazing raw caramel slice once at About Life in Rozelle, and I bring it up EVERY time we’re in the area. This sounds delish! Beautiful photos too!

While I am not personally vegan or gluten intolerant I have a couple friends who are. I’ve spent a long time looking for recipes that I can make for them when I have them over for dinner or drink and find it difficult to get a good one.

This recipe was amazing, and it turned out wonderfully. Rather than spending a small fortune on a pre made gluten free dessert from a trendy bakery I was able to make this myself for a fraction of the cost and it was a huge hit!!! The directions were really clear and easy to follow.

Thanks for sharing!!

Yay! I love sporadically hopping onto your blog and realising you have posted, I’m not a fan girl, promise. Well, maybe a little. I’m really keen to try out the vegan baking thing, there’s something exciting about making a dessert with literally coconut oil, dates and some form of nut. Calorie dense, but delicious.

I’m sending this recipe right now to a vegan gluten-free colleague!

Hi Glenda,

When you say it hasn’t ‘set’, do you mean it’s too crumbly? It’s meant to resemble a biscuit style base. But yes, if you want, you can add more dates x

I attempted this today but the base hasn’t set. Should I use more dates?
