Ingredients

For base
25g flaxseeds
50ml filtered water
35g coconut flakes
120g dates (pitted)
50g almonds
For topping
100ml filtered water
3g Irish moss
75g unrefined raw cane sugar
50g coconut oil
150ml cashews
1/2 lime, juice
300g strawberries

Instructions

Place the Irish moss in filtered water and leave to soak for about an hour.
Line a 7-inch cake tin with grease proof paper. (I use a tin with a removable base to make it easier for serving). Alternatively, use small tins. Top tip - I use acetate sheets instead of grease proof paper to line the tins. I cut to size and reuse them again and again. It gives for a cleaner look.
Place the flaxseeds in a high speed blender and blend till fine. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add water and set to one side.
Place the coconut flakes, dates and almonds in a food processor and roughly chop. Mix with the flaxseeds and knead into a ball.
Pat the date and nut mixture onto the base. Even out with the bottom of a spatula.
Place the cashews in a food process and whizz finely. Add the Irish moss and water, strawberries, cashews, sugar and lime juice and continuing whizzing until it forms a smooth paste.
Using a spatula pour the damson mixture on top of the data and nut base. Smooth over.
Place in the freezer for about 3 or 4 hours or until you are about to eat.
When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and allow to defrost at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
