Tiramisu Method
- For the cream, mix the cream cheese, sweetener, coconut cream and orange zest until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- For the base, add pecan, cashew, cocoa powder and protein powder to a food processor and blend into a flour-like texture. Pour the flour mixture into a bowl and mix together with the remaining base ingredients by your hand until a dough forms.
- Add half the base mixture to a cake pan, lined with parchment paper and press it down firmly and evenly on the bottom of the cake dish.
- Pour the cream mixture evenly on top of the bottom layer of base mixture.
- Using your hands, take a handful of the remaining half of the base mixture at a time and crumble it on top of the orange layer mixture until the cream layer is completely covered with the top layer of oat mixture.
- Gently pat down the top layer until it is flat and as firm as possible.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the top layer of the base mixture.
- Put your cake dish in the freezer for approximately 45 minutes, or until it firms up.
- Remove from the freezer right before you are ready serve. Enjoy!
