- 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.
- Chocolate Topping: Blend all ingredients together until smooth (include the water the Dates were soaked in). Set aside.
- Mix half the Chocolate Layer mixture in with the Chocolate Mud Cake mixture.
- Pecan Base: Pulse all ingredients together into a crumb-like consistency. Press into a 8in x 8in (20cm x 20cm) cake mould.
- Spoon the Mud Cake mixture over the top and use the back of a spoon to smooth over.
- Spoon the remaining Chocolate Layer mixture over the top and use the back of the spoon to smooth over.
- Cut the Strawberries in half and add them to the top of the cake.
- Optional: Place in fridge for 15min+ to allow to set before serving. Garnish with fresh Mint leaves.
*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).
