Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the almonds and cashews and pulse until you have a coarse crumb consistency.

Once the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers, transfer it to the prepared baking dish.

Evenly press the mixture into the dish using your hands or the back of a spoon, smoothing out the top.

If using, melt the dark vegan chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler and drizzle it over the top of the slice.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm and set.

Once set, lift the slice out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.
