Instructions
- Add all the ingredients for the smoothie to a blender and blitz until you get a smooth concoction.
- Reserve 1 cup of the smoothie in a bowl and enjoy drinking the rest.
- To make the base of the cake, simply mix the dates with the crushed almonds. It can easily be done by hand. Press the mix into a your chosen cake shape, non grease baking paper.
- To make the filling, add the water with the agar agar to low heat and stir with a whisk until it begins to thicken. It doesn't need to get to a boil.
- Once it begins to slightly thicken (should be around a minute), remove from heat and continue to stir for another minute.
- Add the agar agar mix to the smoothie in the bowl and swiftly mix it through with a whisk.
- Add the cake filling to the base and place in the fridge.
- Can be served in as little as 10 minutes.
- Serve chilled.
- Enjoy!
