    Method

    Base

    1. Soak dates in boiling water for 10mins. You could alternatively soak them overnight in cold water if you’d like to make this a raw dessert, depending on how patient you are.
    2. Grease a ramekin or mug with coconut oil and line the base with a circular piece of parchment paper.
    3. In a food processor, place the cashews, ground vanilla bean powder, cacao powder and coconut oil. Pulse until just combined.
    4. Drain the soaked dates and add to the food processor, pulse again until a sticky dough is formed. There should be no large bits of cashew or date left. Press this dough into the bottom of your ramekin, and place in the freezer to set while you make the filling.

    Peanut Butter Filling

    1. Rinse out your food processor, then add the ripe banana, peanut butter, coconut oil (do not melt this first), ground vanilla bean powder and lucuma powder. Blend for 2-3 minutes until a silky smooth paste remains.
    2. Pour the peanut butter ice-cream filling into the ramekin on top of the chewy chocolate base, then smooth over with a knife, and return to the freezer. Set for a good hour or two until there is a nice, firm consistency all the way through.
    3. Once set, sit the ramekin in a bowl of hot water for a couple of minutes. This will melt the coconut oil around the edges of the ice-cream cake, and allow you to remove it easily by tapping it upside down on a chopping board.

    Chocolate Fudge Frosting

    1. Whip together the coconut oil, cacao powder, and maple/brown rice syrup with a spoon to form a creamy chocolate paste, then pipe onto the top of the cake to decorate it.
    2. Sprinkle with crushed nuts and cacao nibs, and enjoy!
