Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 15 pitted, non-sorbate prunes
- 1 cup whole ground flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup raw shelled hemp hearts
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons espresso or strong coffee
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 2 tablespoons organic coconut oil
- 1 13.5-ounce can full fat organic coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, to taste
- 1 cup organic creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup espresso or strong coffee
- 1 cup cashew nuts, soaked in water overnight, then drained
- 2 organic ripe bananas
For the Chocolate Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
For the Garnish:
- Fresh mint
Preparation
Cake:
- Combine the crust ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until they form a paste.
- Press mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. If you don’t have a springform pan, use a pie tin or a regular cake pan covered with parchment paper. Put the pan in the freezer while the filling is prepared.
- Put coconut oil, coconut milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, peanut butter, and coffee in a saucepan, and heat very gently until all ingredients have melted and are easily combined.
- Pour the ingredients from the sauce pan, plus the cashews and the banana into a blender or food processor, and pulse until mixture is as smooth as possible.
- Pour the filling into the crust, and freeze for 2-4 hours, or until filling is set.
Chocolate Sauce:
- Whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Drizzle sauce over cake and return to refrigerator to set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh mint.
Notes
Store any leftovers in the freezer. Remove a few minutes before eating to thaw to desired texture.
