- Press, using the back of a spoon to smooth and flatten across the base of the cake tin.
- Set aside whilst preparing the filling.
- Strain cashews for filling.
- In a blender, blitz all cashew filling ingredients until a smooth and silky batter is formed, ideally with no grainy texture.
- Slice strawberries in half, line up around the sides of a cake pan. Strawberry side facing outward.
- Pour over strawberry and date base.
- Refrigerate overnight.
Decorating and serving day
