How to Prepare Raw Fruit and Coconut Ice Cream Cake with Brownie Crust [Vegan]

Prepare the cake vessel

Find a bowl that can hold about 6 cups, or use a small dome cake pan and line it with plastic wrap, tin foil or whatever. I used a dome shaped colander and plastic wrap, it worked fine. Alternatively you can just make this using a normal cake pan.
Line the sides of the pan or bowl with your chosen fruit.

Ice Cream

Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Pour into your pan or bowl and put in the freezer until solid, about 3 or 4 hours.

Brownie Crust

Put the walnuts, oats and cacao in your food processor and pulse until they become a flour.
Add the dates and process until it starts to stick together.
Press onto the "top" of your ice cream cake (it will become the bottom when you flip it later).
Put in the fridge for about an hour to let everything set.
Then carefully flip your cake onto a plate and take off your lining - voila!
Decorate as you wish, slice, and let thaw before eating.
