Yield: 16–18 cm (6–7 in) cake, serves 8 | Prep: 25 min | Freeze: 4+ hr or overnight | Total: 4+ hr
Ingredients
Base
- 2.5 dl (1 cup) raw peanuts
- 60 g (2.1 oz) runny honey
- 1.5 dl (⅔ cup) sunflower seeds
- 1 tbsp Ceylon cinnamon powder
Filling
- 500 g (17.6 oz / about 2 medium) avocado, peeled and pitted
- 30 g (1 oz) coconut oil
- 105 g (3.7 oz / ⅓ cup) runny honey
Instructions
Base
- Optional: For a more intense flavor, lightly roast the peanuts. (Note: roasting makes the recipe no longer fully raw.)
- Finely crush the peanuts in a blender. Leave the sunflower seeds whole.
- Mix peanuts, honey, sunflower seeds, and cinnamon powder in a bowl until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into a 16–18 cm (6–7 in) springform pan or similar baking tin. Chill while preparing the filling.
Filling
- Blend the avocado, coconut oil, and honey until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the filling evenly over the prepared base and smooth the surface.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- If frozen overnight, allow the cake to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- Replace peanuts with raw almonds or hazelnuts.
- If your honey is not runny, add 1–2 tbsp water to the base mixture for easier mixing.
- Lightly roasting the nuts (if desired) will deepen the flavor but make the cake no longer raw.
- Serve topped with shaved coconut or thin slices of avocado for a decorative finish.
