- In a food processor, blitz the walnuts to coarse crumbs. Add the remaining base ingredients and blitz until well incorporated. The mixture will be still quite crumbly.
- Press about 200g of the base mix evenly into a 20cm round springform cake tin which has been lined with plastic wrap. Set aside.
- Wipe out the food processor bowl then blitz the filling ingredients until well incorporated and smooth. Taste for sweetness and add more dates if necessary. Pour into the tin and smooth out using a wet spatula or spoon. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 2-3 hours.
