Directions
- To make your base, add the hazelnuts to your blender and blitz until they make a flour. Add the remaining base ingredients and then press the mixture into a square baking tin lined with greaseproof paper. Transfer to the freezer whilst you make step 2.
- To make the cookie dough, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup and nut milk until smooth. Now stir in the dry ingredients until the mixture is well combined. Lastly add the chocolate chips and then spread the mixture in a thick, compact layer over the base. Return to the freezer as you make the final layer.
- To make the frosting, gently melt the coconut oil over a low heat in a saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Pour this on top of the middle layer and return to the freezer for an hour to set. Cut into slices and enjoy!
