The Cocoa and Coconut Layer - Te Paparanga Kōkō me te Kokonati
Line a 20 cm square tin with baking paper.
Gently melt the hinu kokonati (coconut oil or butter) and add it to a medium bowl. Add the pata pīnati (peanut butter), mīere (syrup), wanira (vanilla) and kōkō (cocoa). Whakaranuhia - mix until combined.
Add the kokonati (coconut) and peru oneone (ground almonds). Whakaranuhia - mix until combined.
Add to the prepared tin and press it down with a spatula until it is smooth and flat. Refrigerate as you make the base.
The Peanut Butter Layer - Te Paparanga Pata Pīnati
Add the pata pīnati (peanut butter), mīere (syrup), wanira (vanilla) and peru oneone (ground almonds) in to a medium bowl. Whakaranuhia - mix until combined.
Add to the base and press it down with a spatula until it is smooth and flat. Refrigerate as you make the topping.
The Chocolate Layer - Te Paparanga Tiakarete
Add the tiakarete (chocolate) and hinu kokonati (coconut oil or butter) in to a small pot. Gently melt it on the stove over super low heat. Stir gently as it melts.
Pour it on top of the peanut butter filling and gently smooth it out.
If you are using them, add the blobs of pata pīnati (peanut butter) on top of the tiakarete (chocolate) while it is still warm. Use a skewer to create a simple marble effect.
Chill in the fridge for around 40 minutes and then it is time to cut and enjoy. I store this slice in a sealed container, in the fridge. It will keep well for a couple of weeks this way.
