Ingredients
  

Base:

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup pitted dates

Filling:

  • 3/4 cup cashews
  • 4 small overripe bananas
  • 4 tbs acai powder
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tbs lemon juice

Toppings:

  • Dark chocolate, edible flowers, or other toppings as you desire

Instructions
 

  • In a high speed blender, blend the walnuts and cacao powder until fine.
  • Add the dates and blend again until the dates are broken down and the mixture starts clumping together. (Note: add a small amount of water if it's not sticking together).
  • Reserve some of this base mixture to make balls for the cake topping, and press the rest of the mixture into the bottom of a small springform cake pan (approximately 5 inches diameter).
  • Clean out the blender and add all the filling ingredients, and blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the filling into the cake pan.
  • Place the cake into the freezer for about 1-2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate balls for the topping by rolling the reserved base mixture into balls.
  • Remove cake from freezer and decorate as desired.
  • Return to freezer for another 2-3 hours, or until the filling is solid.
