    💭 How to naturally sweeten the cake

    The crust base is naturally sweetened with dried cherries, which also help the crust to stick together. Make sure to pick dried cherries that have no added sugar, like Sunrise Fresh.

    The creamy base is sweetened with date syrup. You can get it online, but most grocery stores carry date syrup in their range nowadays (even Walmart has it!).

    However, it is super easy to make at home too. Simply soak 1 Cup of pitted Medjool Dates in 1 Cup of hot water for 1-4 hours. Then add soaked dates with water to a food processor or mixer and blend until you have a thick syrup. Done! Additionally, we are adding coconut cream for its creaminess and subtle sweetness.

    • 100 g pecans (3.5 oz)
    • 30 g coconut chips (7 tbsp)
    • 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder (¼ cup)

    Avocado Cream

    • 560 g avocado, approx. 4 to 5 (19.7 oz)
    • 100 g coconut cream, chilled overnight* (3.5 oz)
    • 120 g date syrup* (½ cup)
    • fresh juice of 2 limes; you can use more if you want it tangier (ca. 60ml - ¼ cup)

    Notes

    *Where do I get date syrup? Most grocery stores carry date syrup in their range nowadays. (Even Walmart has it!) However, it is super easy to make it yourself! 
    *What kind of dried cherries should I use? Any kind of dried cherries you like will work. Look out for a brand that doesn't add sugar to the cherries. I like to use Sunrise Fresh. You can quickly find out by reading the ingredient label.
    *Can I substitute the dried cherries? Yes, this crust recipe also works with other dried fruit, like apricots or dates. Just make sure that they have a similar texture to dried cherries. 
    *What is coconut cream? Coconut cream is a very thick cream made from coconut milk. The coconut milk is chilled, then the top layer of cream that floats to the top is skimmed off. You can usually find it in cans next to the coconut milk. If you can't find coconut cream, you can buy (full fat) coconut milk and chill overnight, and carefully scrape out only the creamy top on your own.
