INSTRUCTIONS

• Firstly make the crust by placing the almonds, dates, cacao powder, maple syrup in a food processor and blend until you have a crumbly mixture.

• Slowly add in the water if needed to make a "dough".

• Press your crust mixture into a prepared tin. (I used a 15cm tin) Place the tin in the fridge until needed.

• To make the chocolate mousse layer, peel the avocados and place in a food processor as well as the maple syrup, cacao powder and salt.

• Blend for 5-10 minutes until smooth.

• Remove your base from the fridge and smooth the avocado layer over it.

• Place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow the cake to set.

• Remove from the fridge and serve with sprinkle of cacao on top and fresh berries.
