Ok, so if you haven't been able to tell by now, I'm absolutely terrible at coming up with names for my desserts..... Like, "Kiwi-Matcha-Mango-Berry", really?? (Any suggestions would be great!) The unintentional colour scheme makes it perfect for Christmas, too! ;)
Anyway, it had been a loooooong time since I'd made anything due to exams and uni etc, so I kind of went crazy on this one... Hope you enjoy it!
RECIPE:
Base:
- 1 cup dates (preferably medjool)
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
First Layer:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours)
- 2 tsp matcha powder
- 1 1/4 cup copped kiwi fruit
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
Second Layer:
- 2 cups chopped mango
- 1/2 cup cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours)
- 1/3 cup mixed strawberries + raspberries (could use just one type of berry if easier!)
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
Raw Choc topping:
- 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 2 Tbsp Maple syrup
METHOD:
- For the base, place the almonds and dates in a food processor and process until a ball forms.
- Spread at the bottom of a cake dish, approx. 15cm diameter.
- For the next layer, process all ingredients until smooth. Pour on top of base and smooth out.
- Repeat for the next layer, making sure not to press down too hard when spreading, otherwise the layers will mix together
- Place in freezer for 8 hours or overnight
- In the morning, remove from freezer and top with your desired toppings!
- To make the raw choc sauce, mix together the melted coconut oil with the cacao and maple syrup, until all combined. If you are having trouble with this, you may need to place it in a pan over the stove to stop the coconut oil from hardening too quickly!
- I topped mine with the raw choc, strawberries and raspberries :)
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week!
Enjoy xx
