Berrylicious Cacao Dream Cake

Crust:
1 ¼ cup almonds
6 fresh dates, pitted
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp coconut butter/coconut manna, melted (or coconut oil, melted)
pinch of sea salt
½ tsp cardamom

Base:
2 cups cashew nuts, soaked for 1 hour & rinsed
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
juices from half a lemon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (or ½ tsp vanilla powder)
½ cup coconut oil, melted (prefer neutral taste)
¼ cup maple syrup

Cacao filling:
Half of the base filling + 3 tbsp raw cacao powder + ½ cup Yosa Cocoa Oat Drink (or ½ cup oat milk and 1 tbsp more raw cacao powder)

Berry filling:
Half of the base filling + ¼ cup raspberries (and/or blueberries) + 4 tbsp Yosa Oat Snack Forest Berries (or ¼ cup more berries)

Crust:
Place a piece of parchment paper onto the bottom of the can tin. Place almonds into a blender. Blend until fine crust. Add the rest of the ingredients. Blend until moldable dough. Separate about ½ cup of the mixture into a bowl. Press the rest of the dough firmly onto the bottom of the cake tin. Roll the dough you separated into small balls.

Filling:
Place all the base filling ingredients in a blender. Blend until as smooth as possible. The mixture will remain quite crumbly at this point. Separate half of the mixture into a bowl. Place the cacao filling ingredients into the blender. Blend with the remaining base mixture until smooth. Pour the mixture into the cake tin. Freezer for 30 mins. Wash the blender, pour in the remaining base mixture and add in the berry filling ingredients. Blend until smooth. Spoon the pink filling on top of the cacao layer. Freeze until solid. Decorate with the truffles you’ve made. Let thaw for about 30-45 mins. Enjoy!
