Tremella, the 'dessert mushroom', my oh my, how we love you. Creamy and sweet to taste, this potent medicinal mushroom has been used by centuries for inner and outer beauty; to create radiance, lusciousness & hydration. Acting like hyaluronic acid, this mushie is a gorgeous gate way medicinal mushroom, for anyone who doesn't like the taste of the more bitter varieties, like reishi.
You guys are going to love this one. Let's go:
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 12-15 pitted medjool dates
- pinch of sea salt
Vanilla “cheesecake” layer
- 2 cups cashews (soaked)
- 2/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 2/3 cup light, liquid sweetener
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp SuperFeast Tremella
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
- pinch of sea salt
Mango cream layer
- 3 cups cashews, soaked
- 2/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 2/3 cup light, liquid sweetener
- One large mango, de-seeded and sliced into cubes
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp SuperFeast Tremella
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
Directions
1. To make crust, process cashews and coconut in food processor until a fine flour. Add in dates and salt and process until everything sticks well together. Press the dough into a lined tin and set aside.
2. For the vanilla layer, blend all ingredients until completely smooth in a high speed blender. Spread over the crust and freeze until solid (1-2 hours or so).
3. Repeat step 2 to make the mango layer. Spread the mango cream on top of the (frozen) vanilla layer and put back in the freezer for 3-4 hours.
The cake can be served frozen, or you can let it defrost for a few hours on the kitchen bench (or overnight in the fridge). Decorate with fresh flowers or whatever else you have on hand.
