Recipe collaboration with Delightful Vegans

Base 

1/4 cup hazelnuts  

1/4 cup coconut 

Pinch salt 

3 medjool dates 

Goji papaya layer 

1/4 cup goji berries, soaked in 1/4 cup water 

1 cup fresh papaya -140g 

1/2 tablespoon white chia 

1 tablespoon rice malt syrup 

 

Chocolate layer 

1/4 cup avo - 40g

1 tablespoon coconut oil 

1/2 tablespoon rice malt 

1/2 tablespoon chia 

1 tablespoon cacao powder 

Method

  1. For the base blend the hazelnuts in a good processor for a minute or so, then add the reminding ingredients until it comes together. Press into a small (10cm) cake tin. Refrigerate while you make the next layer. 

  2. For the Goji Papaya layer blend all the ingredients in a blender or NutriBullet until well combined. Then spoon this mixture on to the base later and refrigerate. 

  3. For the chocolate layer blend the ingredients in a Nutri bullet or blender until smooth. Spread this final layer on top of the cake. Keep in the fridge or freezer until firm. 

  4. I added a dark chocolate layer on top - melted 100g of dark chocolate with a tablespoon of coconut oil. I drizzled this on top of the cake. If the cake has been in the freezer it will help the chocolate drizzle to set.
