How to Prepare Jaffa Bakes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine all of the above ingredients together until a dough like ball has formed. I used a food processor for this however you can also do this manually. Line a baking tray, roll 1/4 cup of mixture into a ball and press down on to the tray to form a circle shape. Repeat this process with the rest of the mix and bake for approximately 10 minutes until firm. Set a side to cool.
  3. In a small saucepan, gently the heat the cacao butter until it has turned to liquid and then stir in the cacao powder and maple syrup, ensuring there are no lumps. Once the cakes have cooled, dip each one into the chocolate and place them back onto the tray. Sprinkle a little orange zest over the chocolate and put the cakes into the fridge until the chocolate has set.
