Crust:

  • 1 cup of walnuts
  • Handful of dates
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tbsps dried coconut
Method:

We are going to start with the crust by mixing all the crust ingredients, except for the coconut, in a food processor until you have a fine/crumbly texture. Using a spring form, sprinkle with bottom with the coconut. Press the mixture down evenly into the bottom of the spring form. Freeze for about 10 mins.
The next step is to prepare the filling of the cake, by simply combining all the ingredients, except the dark chocolate chips, into a food processor until you have a smooth texture. Pour the mixture on top of the crust and freeze overnight.

Once you have rid of all the liquid out of the cauliflower, transfer it to a bowl and mix with all the other ingredients, except mozarella and diced tomatoes, leave a little bit of parmesan for later. Once mixed well, transfer to a pre-greased baking sheet and flatten mix down until evenly thin. Bake for about 40 mins.
