Updated: Jul 16



Ingredients:

Crust:

1/2 cup raw unsulphured almonds

1/2 cup hazelnuts

1 cup coconut shreds

1 cup dates

2 TBSP cacao (or unsweetened cocoa)

 

Filling:

1 cup raw unsulphured cashews

1 cup coconut shreds

7 medium sized, organic ripe plums or other stone fruit or berries that are in season

3-4 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/3 tsp vanilla bean extract, alcohol free or use seeds from a pod or leave it out.

1 TBSP coconut oil

3 tsp poppy seeds

Topping: raw chocolate bits (or cacao nibs), almonds flakes, hazelnuts, fresh plum slices, or pomegranate seeds


Method:

  1. Prepare the Crust:

  • Add all crust ingredients to a blender and pulse until slightly sticky.

  • Press the mixture evenly into a pan lined with baking paper.

  • Place the pan in the fridge to set. 2. Make the Filling:

  • Blend the rest of the ingredients (except the poppy seeds) until a smooth, thick cream forms.

  • Stir in the poppy seeds using a spatula.

  • Check the sweetness. If needed, add rice syrup for more sweetness, or lemon juice if it’s too sweet, depending on the plums/fruit used. 3. Assemble the Dessert:

  • Spoon the filling into the prepared crust.

  • Place it in the fridge to set. 4. Serve:

  • Decorate with your choice of toppings when ready to serve.

  • Keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days if not devoured immediately!
