How to Prepare Mona de Pascua: Spanish Easter Cake [Vegan]

Place all the ingredients for the biscuit in the food processor and pulse until a dough is formed. Divide the biscuit dough in three parts. Press one of the parts in a torte pan with a removable bottom.
Blend all whipped cream ingredients. Pour a little bit of the mixture on top of crust and save the rest for the other layers.
Put the cake with the first two layers in the freezer for 20 minutes or so (until it firms up).
Remove the cake from the freezer.
Roll the other two parts of the biscuit dough into 1/8 inch circle and place one of them on top of the already frozen cream.
Add a little bit of whipped cream on top of the biscuit to create the second cream layer.
Repeat steps 3 to 6 once more.
Place the cake back in the freezer. Freeze until the cake reaches the desired consistency (5 hours or so).
Blend the icing ingredients. Pour and spread the icing on top of the frozen cake. Garnish with chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) and freeze again until firm.
Defrost the cake for about 20 min before serving.
