• 2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 4 hours
• 2 tbsp melted cacao butter
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 2 medjool dates, pitted
• 1 tbsp raw Maca powder
• Tiny pinch sea salt
• 1 tbsp coconut sugar

• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp coconut sugar

Method:

• Line an 8 x 4″ loaf pan/tray with cling wrap

For the base:

• Add remaining ingredients, then spoon into tray and press down
• Pop into the freezer for 15 minutes and clean blender

Filling:

• Drain cashews, then blend all ingredients together until smooth
• Pour on top of the base and freeze for a further 15 minutes

Topping:

• Whisk cacao powder and oil together until smooth- you may need to add more coconut oil depending on how thin or thick the ganache is
