Hazel & Cacao:
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • BASE:
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup pitted dates
  • 1 TBSP water (if needed)
  • FILLING:
  • 1½ cups cashews (soaked for 15 mins in boiling water or soak overnight)
  • 1 400g can organic coconut cream
  • ½ cup cacao butter
  • Juice 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries (fresh also work)
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
Method
  1. In a food processor, blitz together the almonds until they form a rough crumb, add dates and blitz again, add water if mixture is not sticky enough. Once sticky press down evenly on to the base of a round 20 cm cake tin.
  2. For the filling, begin by melting down cacao butter in a saaucpan over low heat until liquid. Add melted cacao butter and all the remaining filling ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Pour mixture over base and set in freezer for about 4 hours or overnight. Once set decorate with extra blueberries. Once set it can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or stored in the freezer for 6 + months. The texture is nicest from the fridge so I recommend defrosting in the fridge before eating.
