Ingredients
Torte
- 4 cups Brazil nuts
- 3 cups organic raisins
- 1 cup dried figs
Frosting
- 1 cup dates pitted
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. organic lemon peel
- 1 passionfruit pulped
Instructions
Torte
- Blend all ingredients until they form a solid mass in the food processor (it should be very fine with the occasional chunk).
- Place mass on a plate and shape into a cake shape. You can use a mold if you want to. Have fun with the shape! You can use the end of a spoon or a chopstick to make nice fluted edges if you want. Wet the spoon if it starts to stick.
Frosting
- If the dates are very firm or dry, let them soak in a little purified water for about 15 minutes to soften. Discard any excess water.
- Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy, then frost the cake.
- Decorate with lemon zest, nuts, fresh berries or passionfruit pulp.
