Instructions
  1. Mud Cake Layer: Drain the soaked Dates and place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until mixture gets sticky. Set aside.
  2. Chocolate Topping: Blend all ingredients together until smooth (include the water the Dates were soaked in). Set aside.
  3. Mix half the Chocolate Layer mixture in with the Chocolate Mud Cake mixture.
  4. Pecan Base: Pulse all ingredients together into a crumb-like consistency. Press into a 8in x 8in (20cm x 20cm) cake mould.
  5. Spoon the Mud Cake mixture over the top and use the back of a spoon to smooth over.
  6. Spoon the remaining Chocolate Layer mixture over the top and use the back of the spoon to smooth over.
  7. Cut the Strawberries in half and add them to the top of the cake.
  8. Optional: Place in fridge for 15min+ to allow to set before serving. Garnish with fresh Mint leaves.
Recipe Notes

*You can enjoy straight away or put in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to set.

*Store sealed in a container in the fridge/freezer.

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.

-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.

- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.

-Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative. 

-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water. 

-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).

  1. Steam Chestnuts for 10 - 15 min. Use a stainless steel colander or sieve to suspend the Chestnuts in a pot above boiling water (without letting the water touch the nuts).
  2. Let cool, then cut into halves. Scrape the soft nut flesh out using a teaspoon and set aside.
  3. Gently *warm the Chocolate Chips until melted (see recipe notes below for instructions on how to warm Chocolate Chips).
  4. Pulse together the Chestnut flesh, Almonds, Pecan Nuts, Coconut Flakes, Dates, Cacao Powder, Salt.
  5. Combine the mixture with the melted Chocolate Chips and the Cherries and mix well using a wooden spoon or silicon spatula. Use a little warm Spring Water to help with mixing (use only small amounts at a time).
  6. Line a baking tray with non-toxic baking paper/parchment paper and spread the mixture even over the surface. Use a knife to cut the tray into squares. Place in freezer for 5 minutes to allow to set.
Recipe Notes

*Chocolate Chips I buy are simply made from raw organic Cane Sugar, Cacao Butter and Cacao Powder. 

*Can make and use 3x portions of our Chocolate Sundae Sauce as a replacement if you can’t find clean Chocolate Chips.

*To melt Chocolate Chips - I heat some water in a pot, then place a stainless steel bowl in the pot, add a little heated water to the bowl, and then add a glass bowl in which the Chocolate Chips can melt without it getting too hot/burning. We want the Cacao Butter to remain healthy for us, so avoid heating it more than 40 °C / 104 °F.

*Enjoy straight away or allow to set in fridge for 15+ minutes. Store in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer.

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.

*Enjoy straight away or store in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer. 

*Pressing mixture into Bliss Balls: You may need a little ‘elbow grease’ to press the mixture into balls. I usually take a handful and just keep pressing very firmly, and keep adding more mixture until I have desired size and the mixtures sticks together properly.

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.
