Ingredients

Crust:

1 cup raw macadamia kernals or almonds

1 cup fresh medjool dates

¼ tsp sea salt

Filling:

2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 1-4 hours (the longer you soak the easier it is to blend and you won’t need a high-powered blender)

1 tsp vanilla extract or bean

1/2 cup raw coconut oil, melted

1/2 cup raw honey/ agave/ maple syrup/ coconut sugar

Methods/steps

Crust:

1) In a food processor blend the macadamias, dates and salt until it’s at the texture or your preference. The mixture will form a sticky dough that can easily be pressed into a springform cake pan

Filling:

1) In a high-powered blender process the cashews, coconut oil, sweetener and vanilla until creamy.

2) Choose your colours and blend in the fruits and powders starting with the lightest. I portioned the filling to mix the strongest colours separately. This is the longest process and I think I used about 20 different spoons!

3) Place in the freezer to set.
