  • 7 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp pink salt
  • 5 tbsp melted coconut oil

Filling:

Method

Patties:

  1. Preheat oven to 170⁰C. Place all dry crust ingredients in a food processor and process well until it reaches the consistency of flour.
  2. Add melted coconut oil and process until it becomes like wet sand.
  3. Line the baking tin with a baking sheet and press the mixture into the bottom. Bake it for about 15-22 min or until baked through. After it has cooled down, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour.
  4. Place all strawberry filling ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend well. Layer it over the crust and place strawberries and blueberries on the top. Freeze it until set.
  5. Take out the cake from the baking tin and cut with a warm knife. Enjoy!

We used a 18cm×18cm square tin to make this one, however you can use any tin you have at home that is around this size.
