This is my take on the good old retro lolly cake. I’ve changed it up a bit using seeds and dates as the base in lieu of lollies, some gorgeous Fresh As dried whole fruits, and zero added refined sugar.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Place dates in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside to soak for 15 minutes.
  2. Drain dates well then place in a food processor along with chia, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, almonds, half of the coconut, orange zest, cocoa, Cocavo and salt. Process until well combined.
  3. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add Fresh As fruit and goji berries and stir until well combined.
  4. Divide mixture into 4 rounds. Roll each round in a log shape then coat well in remaining coconut. Wrap each log tightly in baking paper and refrigerate until firm, ideally overnight.
  5. To serve, cut in 2cm rounds and enjoy!
