1 1/2 Tbsp Organic Raw Cacao Powder | Nature’s Superfoods

1 1/2 Tbsp Organic Premium Yacon Root Syrup | Nature’s Superfoods

1/4 tsp Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Powder | Nature’s Superfoods

Toppings (for crunch) :

Method of Preparation:

1. First, soak the cashew in water and leave it in the fridge overnight. The next day, soak the dates in hot water for 20 mins. Drain the water and take out the seeds. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, ground the quinoa puffs. Then add the rest of the crust ingredients. Press the crust mixture in a silicone cupcake baking mould. Put it in the fridge while you work on the filling.
3. Drain the cashew and put it on a blender. Add the rest of the filling ingredients and blend it till it has a creamy consistency (no more cashew pieces)
4. Scoop the filling into the prepared crust. Put it in the freezer for 2 hours till you are ready to eat. If not, transfer it to the fridge after 2 hours in the freezer.
5. Decorate it with more orange zest and some cacao nibs and coconut flakes for that extra crunch.
