For the crust:
- 110 g almonds soak in water for 8 hours, then rinse and drain
- 70 g dates and diced
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
For the filling:
- 250 g strawberries
- 70 g dates pitted
- 20 g cacao butter melted
- 210 g cashews soaked for approx. 4 hours, rinsed and drained
For the topping:
- 70 g cashew nuts (soaked for at least 6 hours and drained)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 10 g cacao butter melted
- 50 ml water
For the crust, in a powerful blender pulse the almonds and dates to fine crumbles. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in ground flax seed and mix well.
Line the cake tin with baking paper. Spread the dough evenly and press it firm.
For the strawberry layer, blend 150g of the strawberries with dates and cacao butter until smooth. Then add cashews and blend once again. You may need a tamper for this step.
Chop up the remaining strawberries and mix them with the strawberry cream. Spread the cream evenly in the cake tin.
For the vanilla layer, blend all ingredients until smooth (a smaller powerful bullet blender is ideal for this step). Pour the vanilla layer over the strawberry layer.
Place in freezer until firm (approx. 5 hours). Let thaw a little before cutting slices, then store chilled until serving.
