Method

First, to make the Base simply blend all the ingredients together and press into a lined tin. Then leave the base to chill in the freezer while you make the next parts.

Next make the Lemon Part by again simply blending all the ingredients together in a blender and leave this mixture to chill in the freezer for a few minutes.

To make the Chocolate Part simply follow the recipe for 1 quantity of Raw Vegan handmade Chocolate (leaving out the flavourings from that recipe).

To put it all together, pour the Lemon filling onto the base and swirl the chocolate mixture in (enough to create a marbled effect). Decorate with some more Nutmeg, and Lemon zest and leave to set in the freezer till firm.
