Preparation

Serves 4 - 6.

Method

  • Begin by making the base. Heat a large pan to a medium temperature and gently toast the oats for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. There should be a delicious – but not burning! – aroma.
  • Combine the oats with the rest of the base ingredients in a food processor. Pulse on a low speed until all the ingredients clump together, but retain a nice texture.
  • Line a 10cm flan tin with foil.
  • Scoop out the base mixture and press down evenly into the tin. Place in the freezer.
  • To make the filling, start by processing the cashews until you have a smooth paste. Next, add 50g of blueberries and the remaining filling ingredients to the processor and blitz until combined.
  • To assemble, scatter the other 50g of blueberries over the base and then pour on the filling. Smooth over with the back of a spoon, ensuring it goes right up to the edges of the tin.
  • Freeze, for at least an hour, until needed.

NOTES

The longer you soak the cashews, the smoother (and easier on your food processor) they will be.

Transfer to the fridge a little while before serving to aid slicing.
