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:
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup almonds raw
  • 6 Medjoul dates
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • Pinch of sea salt
• 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

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.
