The Easter long weekend is coming up, which means that every which way you turn, you’re bombarded by the sight of chocolate. We’ve harped on about the importance of balance, sticking to (somewhat) of an exercise regime and making healthy swaps when you can so that you can still enjoy all the festivities without feeling like you’re missing out.
Speaking of which, this dairy-free mocha slice by model turned cook, Jax Raynor is the ultimate sweet treat that will trick your taste buds into thinking they’re having something naughty. One of the star ingredients includes a cold brew coffee with almond milk which is responsible for that fluffy mocha cream you see there in the middle.
Okay, enough teasing. Keep scrolling for the recipe!
