Ingredients
For the nut base
- 1½ cups raw walnuts
- 5 regular dates
- 2 tsp cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp fruit juice orange or tangerine, freshly squeezed
For the strawberry frosting
- ½ cup raw cashews
- ¾ cup strawberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp coconut shreds
- 1 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp quick oats
Instructions
- Place all ingredients for the nut base in a food processor and pulse for several minutes or until a sticky dough is formed. You may need to scrape the sides occasionally.
- Line six small bowls with a flat bottom with parchment paper. Take about one and a half tablespoons of the nut mixture and press it to the bottom of the bowls. Slightly scoop the central part and form small, low edges to put the frosting in it. Refrigerate for a while.
- For the strawberry frosting put all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate for about two hours or until it thickens a bit so it does not leak from the nut crust.
- To assemble the dessert take out the nut crusts from the bowls and add about one tablespoon of the strawberry frosting in each of them.
- Decorate with fresh blueberries or raspberries. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you use frozen strawberries, let them thaw before chopping them in the food processor. It will be easy.
