Blackberry cream cake


By Hanna Sillitoe (www.beyondfi t.co.uk)
Serves 10 | Prep 10 mins plus freezing |
Cook none| Calories 444 (per serving)


FOR THE BASE


200g (1¹/ 3 cups) dried,
chopped dates


75g (½ cup) almonds


75g (½ cup) brazil nuts


3 tbsp melted coconut oil


FOR THE TOPPING


200g (1½ cups) cashews,
soaked in water for
1-2 hours
400ml tin (1²/ 3 cups)
coconut milk
150g (1 cup) blackberries
2 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp melted coconut oil

1 Blitz the base ingredients together until they resemble
a breadcrumbs and press into a flapjack tin lined with
greaseproof paper. Place in the freezer.


2 Blitz the topping ingredients together to form a blackberry
cashew cream. The more powerful your processor, the
creamier and smoother your topping will be. I use a Ninja
blender to create a smooth, creamy consistency.


3 Pour the topping onto the frozen cake base and place
back in the freezer to set. This should take approximately
1-2 hours.


4 Remove from the freezer and allow to thaw a couple of
hours before serving.


5 Decorate with a fresh blackberries and rose petals, if liked.
