I know what you’re thinking; what is Baobab cream? Firstly, Baobab is an African super food that has recently launched in Australia by the awesome people at Rawsome Foods. I was shocked when I learnt that Baobab has DOUBLE the antioxidants of Acai Berry and DOUBLE the calcium of milk. Needless to say, I was more than intrigued to taste this super food and it definitely did not disappoint with its delicious zesty pear taste.
This slice is the perfect mix of tangy fruit and chocolaty goodness. The Baobab powder is a great setting agent, therefore the smooth cream smeared over the chocolate base sets beautifully in the freezer. The nutritional benefits of this slice are just the icing on the cake for this unique, yummy slice – try it yourself!

If Baobab is out of reach, substitute with banana!
