Required: 7.3" x 7.3" Square mold

INGREDIENTS

Crust

3.5 oz rolled oats

3.5 oz raw almonds 7 tbsp coconut sugar 2 tbsp cocoa powder 1⁄4 tsp pink salt

5 tbsp melted coconut oil

Filling

7 oz raw cashews (soaked 4-6 hours and rinsed)

3.5 oz fresh strawberries 3⁄4 cup coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk 6 tbsp melted raw cacao butter 5-6 tbsp maple syrup 3 tbsp lemon juice 1⁄2 tsp lemon zest 1⁄2 tsp vanilla paste 1 tsp pitaya powder (for color, optional) Pinch of good salt

Decoration

10-15 small to medium strawberries, cut in half

20 blueberries

METHOD

• Preheat oven to 340°F. Place every dry ingredient for the crust in a food processor. Process well until it reaches the consistency of flour.

• Add melted coconut oil into the food processor and process until it becomes like wet sand. Add 1-2 tsp melted raw coconut oil if the mixture is too dry.

• Put a baking sheet on the mold and press the mixture into the bottom. Bake it for about 18-22 min or until baked through. After it has cooled down, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour.

• Put every ingredient for the strawberry filling in a high-speed blender and blend well. Layer it over the crust and place strawberries and blueberries on the top. Freeze it until set.

• Take out the cake from the mold and cut with a warm knife.
