 8 fresh pitted dates

 1 1/2 cup macadamia nuts

 1/4 cup raw cacao powder*

 pinch of sea salt

 4 tbsp coconut oil*
 Filling:

 2 cups raw cashews, soaked in water for 6-8 hours & rinsed (this process also increases their bio-availibilty by activating them)

 1/2 cup coconut butter/paste*

 1/3 cup coconut nectar* (more if you like sweeter) or preferred sweetener

 1 tsp vanilla powder* (or scrape a vanilla pod)

 20 ml pure rose water

 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

 1/2 pink dragonfruit/pitaya (you could swap for raspberries, fresh or frozen)

 1 tsp beetroot powder (optional)

 pinch of sea salt

 1 tsp vanilla powder* (optional)

 desired amount of coconut nectar* (this will vary depending on how sweet you like it) or preferred sweetener

 OR alternatively you could melt a bar of Loving Earth creamy coconut mylk chocolate

 METHOD

 • Blitz the macadamias in a food processor until crumbly
 • Add the dates, cacao, oil & salt
 • Blitz until doughy & sticky
 • Press the mixture into the base of your cake tin (I use a springform tin) & freeze until firm
 • Blend all filling ingredients until smooth & creamy
 • Spread onto base & freeze until firm
 • Melt cacao butter or coconut oil in a bowl over low heat
 • Whisk in remaining ingredients until smooth
 • Once filling is set, pour over topping & chill or freeze again
 • Top with fresh pistachios, figs and rose petals to make it extra turkish delightful
 • Store in the freezer for up to 6 weeks…if it lasts that long!
