Let's get started with the recipe of this cake!


What you need: 

  • Cake pan with a diameter of 18 cm
  • Food processor 

Ingredients:

  • Base:
  • Filling:
    • 1 + 1/2 cups cashews (soaked)
    • 4 Medjoul dates
    • 1/2 cup filtered water
    • 1 tbsp almond butter
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 tbsp blue butterfly pea powder
  • Toppings:
    • 1 cup blueberries (can be frozen or fresh)
    • 2 tbsp almond butter
    • 2 tbsp coconut oil
    • 1 tbsp agave syrup (or maple syrup)
    • 1 tbsp shredded coconut


Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

  • Begin by pitting 6 Medjoul dates. Combine these with 1 cup of walnuts and 1/2 cup of almonds in a food processor until you achieve a crumbly, sticky consistency. 
  • Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the cake pan to form the first layer.

2. The Filling

  • In the same food processor, blend the soaked cashews, 4 pitted Medjoul dates, 1/2 cup filtered water, 2 tbsp almond butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp blue butterfly pea powder until creamy.
  • Spread this mixture over the base and smooth it out.

3. Toppings

  • Put the blueberries on the filling evenly. Press slightly. 
  • Mix together in a bowl the almond butter, coconut oil and agave syrup until smooth and drizzle the mixture over the cake.
  • Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the cake

4. Freeze

  • Allow the cheesecake to freeze for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to ensure all layers are set and firm.

5. Serve:

  • Take your cake out of the freezer and cut into small pieces. This cake is very filling, so serve small portions. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks:

  • Soak Your Cashews: For the creamiest texture, soak your cashews overnight. If short on time, a quick soak in hot water for an hour can work in a pinch.
  • Decorating: The sky's the limit with toppings! Vary with your favorite powerfoods.
  • Serving Tip: Dip your knife in hot water before slicing to achieve clean, beautiful cuts through the layers.
