Hi all. Isn't this cake pretty? I find it very nice with the swirls. I have tired the swirls the first time :) It is very easy, I will describe it in the recipe.
I made this cake a long time ago, when we still had roses in the garden, but I wouldn't mind having a piece now :) how about you? :)
Crust:
- 2 cups walnuts, soaked for 3-4 hours
- 1 1/4 cup Medjool dates, soaked for 30 minutes
- pinch of salt
- a bit of pure vanilla
Filling:
Cashew "cheese":
Cashew "cheese":
-1 3/4 cup cashew nuts, soaked for 3-4 hours

Berry filling:

Berry filling:
- approximately 1/2 cup rice milk
- 120 grams of frozen mixed berries
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
Method:
- Place the walnuts for the crust in a food processor and pulse until a coarse meal is formed. Add in the dates and process until you have a sticky dough. Press the dough firmly into the bottom of either a cake or pie form. Transfer the crust to the freezer to set for approximately 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cashew "cheese" filling. This is done simply by placing all the ingredients into a high speed blender and blending until you have a very smooth and creamy paste. If you don't have a blender, don't worry, you can as well use the food processor. However, I find that processing the cashew with all other ingredients in a high speed blender gives even a more creamier texture.
- Pour 3/4 of the filling over the crust, distribute evenly using a spatula or by shaking the form side to side. But not too much shaking here ;)
- Add the berry filling ingredients to the remaining cashew "cheese" in the blender. Blend until smooth. The berry mix should have an ice cream texture, it shouldn't be too watery.
- Take pieces of the berry filling with a spoon and place it over the cashew "cheese" (which is still liquid), leaving spots of the cheese filling visible.
- Take a wooden stick and start mixing the berry filling into the cashew "cheese" simply by making little circles all over the cake. Go crazy :) This will mix the two layers together nicely.
- Place the cake to the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours. Cover, and freeze overnight.
- Take the cake out from the freezer 15-20 minutes before serving.
Enjoy :)
