But this year things seem to be a little weird. For example, one can still buy fresh, locally grown strawberries! I don’t know what the growers secret is, but it surely is impressive!

Course Cake
Cuisine New Zealand
Servings 1 cake (18 cm)

Equipment

  • 18cm (7inch) cake spring-from
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 200 g macadamias (or almonds) preferably soaked in filtered water for at least 8 hours, then drained
  • 105 g dates pitted and diced
  • 1-2 tablespoon water if using dry nuts

For the lime layer:

  • 280 g cashews soak them in filtered water for at least 4 hours, the rinse and drain
  • 70 g dates pitted
  • 125 g water
  • 85 g lime juice (approx. 2-3 small limes)
  • 3 piece zest of small limes
  • 1 handful of baby spinach leaves optional, used for color purposes
  • 1-2 tablespoon coconut oil optional

For the strawberry layer:

  • 400 g strawberries
  • 140 g cashews soak them in filtered water for at least 4 hours, the rinse and drain
  • 70 g dates pitted
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil optional

Instructions
 

  • For the crust, blitz the macadamias in a blender to fine crumbles and transfer to a medium sized bowl. Then blitz the dates to fine crumbles and add to the bowl.
  • Mix well. It should form a relatively sticky dough. If too dry, add a little extra water. Line spring form with baking paper, scoop dough into spring form and spread evenly.
  • For the lime layer, blend all ingredients until smooth. You might need to scrape the mixture down the sides or use tamper. Only add a little extra water if the mixture won’t blend at all.
  • Pour the lime layer into the spring form and spread evenly. Place in freezer while preparing the strawberry layer.
  • For the strawberry layer, blend all ingredients until smooth. You might need to scrape the mixture down the sides or use tamper. Only add a little extra water if the mixture won’t blend.
  • Carefully pour the strawberry layer over the lime layer and spread evenly. I used dehydrated raspberries and chopped pistachios for garnish.
  • Place in freezer until set. Let defrost a little before cutting slices. For best results, let then defrost completely in fridge – the texture will be divine! 🙂

Enjoy! 🙂
