Directions
Crust:
Blend dry ingredients (walnuts, cacao powder & sea salt) in food processor until finely crushed
Move dry ingredients to mixing bowl and add wet ingredients (vanilla & agave). Mix well.
Lightly spray inside of cake molds with coconut oil, and press crust into bottom of mold. Wet your fingers and press firmly to create a compact layer.
Filling:
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Spread a layer evenly over the crust.
Milk Chocolate Parfait Layer:
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Refrigerate until firm. (Tip: The coconut oil is what creates the firm consistency.)
Spread a layer evenly over the filling to desired thickness.
White Chocolate Parfait Layer:
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Refrigerate until firm.
Spread a layer evenly over the previous layer to desired thickness.
Dark Chocolate Pudding Layer:
Combine all ingredients in a blender.
Refrigerate until firm.
Spread a layer evenly over the previous layer to top of cake mold.
Smooth top of cake and add any decoration you like (cacao nibs, freeze dried raspberry, dab of filling mixture, etc.)
To get an ice cream cake feeling, freeze all cake molds until firm. For a softer dessert, refrigerate until firm.
Run a little warm water over the cake mold, and the cake will slide right out. Plate, serve and ENJOY!
