Ingredients
Crust:
1 ½ cups roasted unsalted pecan pieces
2 tablespoons Lakanto monk fruit syrup or maple syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Filling:
2 cups raw cashew pieces, soaked in water for 4 hours or overnight
1 cup freeze-dried blueberries
2 scoops Primal Kitchen Collagen Peptides
½ cup coconut cream (from the top of a can of refrigerated coconut milk)
2 tablespoons Lakanto monk fruit syrup or maple syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Topping:
1 cup fresh blueberries
Coconut whipped cream, for serving (optional):
1 can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated
Dash monk fruit extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Line a 6-inch springform cake pan with a circle of parchment paper and set aside.
In a high-speed blender using the wand tool, blend together the crust ingredients until just combined into a dough-like consistency. Do not over-blend, or it will turn into pecan butter!
Press the pecan crust evenly into the bottom of the cake pan, and freeze the crust while you prepare the filling.
Without washing your blender, blend together the filling ingredients until completely smooth.
Pour the filling into the frozen crust, and top with fresh blueberries.
Place in the freezer for approximately 5 hours, or until it is frozen through.
Using a butter knife, gently swipe around the inside of the pan to loosen the cake.
Remove the cake from the springform pan and slice.
Serve with optional coconut whipped cream.
Store any leftover cake covered in the freezer; thaw for about 15 minutes before serving.
To make the coconut whipped cream:
Scoop out the thick cream from the top of a can of refrigerated coconut milk. Whip it using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Flavor with monk fruit extract and vanilla extract, to taste.
