Instructions
Step 1
Soak cashews for about 4 hours or overnight. Add almonds / pecans (or pre-cooked flour), dates, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla to a food processor or blender. The resulting mixture should stick together when pinched.
Place the mixture in a silicone mold, distribute it evenly, sculpting into a crust, and place in the freezer while you make the filling.
Step 2
Rinse the cashews and, along with the agave or maple syrup, espresso and vanilla, blend with a food processor or blender until it looks like cream. Then add coconut oil, cocoa powder and mix until smooth.
Take the cake pan out of the freezer and pour the mixture over the top of the cake. Place in the freezer again.
Step 3
For a chocolate topping, combine agave syrup (or maple syrup), coconut oil, cocoa, vanilla, and sea salt until smooth. Let it brew for 1-2 minutes to remove any air bubbles. This will give you a smooth surface.
Remove the cake from the freezer and spread the chocolate on top. Sprinkle with sweet cocoa nibs or crushed espresso beans if desired.
Place in the freezer for at least 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
When the time is right, remove the cake from the freezer. In about 15-20 minutes, your delicious Mocha cake will be ready! Enjoy!
