Steps

Method for the cake base

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until you have a dough like consistency. This may take a little bit of time, seeing as the nuts are quite stubborn to grind.
  • Place/line parchment paper inside your mold of choice (15cm x 15cand lay the blended crust mixture down evenly
  • Place the crust in the freezer while you work on your berry cherry filling for about 10 mins

Method for the filling

  • Combine all ingredients for the filling in your food processor and mix until the texture is smooth and creamy.
  • Place the filling over your crust, spreading it evenly, and leave it in the freezer to sit for at least 3 hours or keep in the fridge overnight, which is what I usually opt for (the overnight option); it allows the flavors to rest and be absorbed better.
  • Store the cake in the freezer but make sure that when you take it out to grab a slice, you place it right back quickly to avoid spoilage
  • Let it rest at room temperature 15-20 mins before enjoying
  • Best kept a week in the freezer, or 3 days in the fridge
