3 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

Instructions

Chill the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight, being sure not to shake the can to ease separation of the cream and liquid.
Remove the coconut milk from the fridge, remove the lid. Scrape out the top, thickened cream and leave the liquid behind.

CRUST

Pour buckwheat in a food processor, process for 1 minute, then add dry coconut, oats, dates, vanilla, coconut oil and process until a loose dough forms. If too dry add a bit more melted coconut oil.
Oil the sides of a 20cm spring form pan and transfer mixture in the pan, press down until it’s evenly distributed.

SPICE MIX

In a jar, pour cinnamon, ginger powder, clove powder, nutmeg powder and all spices, close the jar with the lid and shake until well combined.

CREAM

Pour cashews, walnuts, 2 tablespoons of the chilled coconut cream, honey, vanilla extract, spice mix, juice of the orange, zest and shredded butternut squash in the food processor, blend, scraping down the sides as needed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Add the cream onto the crust and put it in the freezer for 1 hour.

TOPPING 1

In a bowl add the remaining coconut cream, honey, vanilla extract and mix well. Refrigerate.

TOPPING 2

Pour all ingredients for the chocolate sauce in a bowl and mix well.
To serve, remove from the spring form pan and top with the vanilla coconut cream. Drizzle with the chocolate sauce and sprinkle with the spice mix.
