Another one for the choc-mint lovers. We have used macadamia nuts in the filling of this mint chocolate slice, however you may wish to replace with cashew nuts for a more subtle flavour. This dessert has an enhanced nutritional profile thanks to the addition of matcha powder - pure stone ground green tea.
