Vegan Tahini Caramel Cream

  • 3/4 cup (180ml) coconut cream 
  • 1 tbsp hulled tahini
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste

Method

  1. Pulse all crust ingredients until well processed but still slightly crumbly. Press the mixture into the tin.
  2. In a high speed blender place all ingredients for the white chocolate filling and blend well until smooth. Layer the filling above the crust. Freeze it until set.
  3. Repeat the same process for the chocolate layer. Freeze it until set.
  4. Pulse all the ingredients for the cream until smooth. Place in the fridge overnight to thicken.
  5. Take the cake from the freezer and remove it from the tin. Spread the caramel cream on top. Garnish with your choice of fruits and dark chocolate.

We used a 24cm / 9.5 inch tart pan with removable base to make this one, however you can use any tin with a removable base you have at home that is around this size.
