Citrus Mango Ice Cream Cake with Mint Lime Coulis (Raw Vegan)

Crust

• 1 1/2 cups Walnuts
• 2 Medjool Dates
• A Dash of Sea Salt
• 4 pieces of Soaked Dehydrated Mango (insulated)
• 2 tbsp Coconut Flakes

Filling

• 3 cups Soaked Raw Cashews
• 1 Lemon, Zest and Juice
• 1 Lime, Zest and Juice
• 2 Oranges Zest, 1 Juiced
• 1 Mango
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1/2 tsp Almond Extract
• 2 Medjool Dates
• 1/2 cup Melted Coconut Oil

Mint Lime Coulis

• 1/4 cup Fresh Mint (packed)
• 1/8 cup Water
• 1/8 cup Maple Syrup
• 1/2 tsp Chlorella
• 1/2 Lime, Zest and Juice
• 1 tbsp Chia Seed
• 2 tbsp Coconut Cream

1. For the crust, soak mango slices for at least 2h.  Then drain them and throw them into the food processor with the other ingredients.  Blend and press into the bottom of a spring form pan.  Place this in the freezer to solidify.
2. In a high speed blender place 3 cups of soaked cashews, lemon, lime and orange juice and zests, along with mango, honey, dates and melted coconut oil.  To melt the oil place it in a glass dish in a late bowl of boiling water.  Stir consistently.  This keeps all components of the cake raw.  Blend everything together and top off the crust with the filling layer.  Put this back in the freezer to set.
3. Then blend all coulis ingredients until smooth.  The chia will help to solidify the sauce slightly.  The colour may be off-putting but trust me, it’s taste is worth a mouthful.
4. When the cake has set, cut into slices and drizzle with coulis to serve.
