1 cup of raw cacao
1 Tbsp. rice malt syrup
1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked in water overnight

Set the remaining half mixture aside.

3. Wipe the food processer clean and then blitz the peanut butter until soft and easy to spread. Remove chocolate and nut layers out of the freezer and spread peanut butter over the nut layer and place back in the freezer, for around 10 minutes.
4. Lastly, pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the top of the layers and place in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
