Ingredients

​

Crust

• 1/2 cup raw nuts, ground - i used almonds and walnuts

• 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

• 7 dates, pits removed and soaked in water for an hour

• 3/4 cup graham crackers, gluten-free, ground in food processor

• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted



Ice cream

• 2 containers of So Delicious Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, left on the counter to melt 

• 1/2 cup of maple syrup

• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts 



Topping

• 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

• Chocolate drizzle (coconut oil and cocoa powder)

• 2 Tbsp. shredded unsweetened coconut



What to do

 

Take pits out of the dates and soak for an hour previously. Then process them and place them in a large bowl. Process nuts and graham crackers and then place them in the same bowl as the dates. Add shredded unsweetened coconut. Put coconut oil in a medium size pan and heat on low. Put melted coconut oil into the bowl and mix until all ingredients are coated. You should be able to roll mixture into a ball and it should hold. If not you will need to add more melted coconut oil.



Add mixture into a cheese cake pan (with removable side). And freeze for 15 minutes while making the ice cream part.



Add melted ice cream and maple syrup to a blender and mix. Add chopped walnuts and do NOT blend. Stir. Take your crust out of the freezer and pour ice cream mixture on top. Put back into the freezer for an hour.



Melt chocolate. Take cake out of the freezer. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and shredded unsweetened coconut on the cake and then drizzle melted chocolate on top. Freeze again for an hour until ice cream is firm. Don't share this recipe! It's too good to give to just anyone..... just kidding!

 

Remove graham crackers from the crust and add nuts of your choice instead to make this a Vegan dessert.
