Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease an 8" square pan, lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flour, ground almonds, vegan butter, maple syrup, and sea salt in a bowl until a soft dough forms. Press evenly into the pan and prick with a fork. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Simmer fresh raspberries in a saucepan for 10 minutes until soft. Blend until smooth, strain to remove seeds, and add lemon juice and agar-agar powder. Boil for a minute, then simmer for 3 minutes.
  4. Pour the raspberry jelly over the baked shortbread and evenly spread it. Freeze for about 30 minutes to set.
  5. Blend cashew butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until creamy. Spread over the raspberry layer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Melt two-thirds of the vegan chocolate, then stir in remaining chocolate for a glossy finish. Spread over the caramel layer and sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberries if desired.
  7. Slice the shortbread into squares using a heated knife. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days or freeze for longer storage.
