Preparation

*Soak the cashews in a bowl of water and freeze the coconut cream for two hours beforehand.

• To prepare the nut crust, grind the pecans in a food processor until a grainy texture. Gradually add the dates while grinding continuously. Finish by adding the softened coconut oil. The result will be a very consistent and slightly sticky brown paste.
• Transfer the nut mixture to the bottom of the cake pan. Firmly press the walnut crust into the bottom of the mold to even out the mixture throughout. Transfer to the freezer.
• To make the strawberry cream, place all the ingredients in a high-power blender. Activate the motor at low power then increase the power gradually. Grind until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous texture. Spread over the walnut crust using a silicone spatula. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• For the vanilla cream, place all the ingredients in a high-power blender, including the Genuine Health Vegan Vanilla Fermented Protein. Activate the motor at low power then increase the power gradually. Grind until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous texture. Spread over the now cooled strawberry cream using a silicone spatula. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• Freeze the cake for a minimum of 3 hours then take out 30 minutes before serving. The cake can be stored in the refrigerator once it has set.
• Serve with fresh strawberries or the strawberry coulis pureed in a blender.
