While no bake cakes do take patience and time, they are definitely worth the effort. My No Bake Pineapple and Passion Fruit Cake is made with wholesome ingredients like raw nuts, fresh and dried fruit, and topped with crunchy coconut, and can be stored in the freezer for months! If you haven't tried this type of cake before be warned: the taste takes some adjusting to, but it's such a great alternative to highly processed, sugary cakes and biscuits, and has a beautiful texture if made right. The blended cashews also give it a beautiful creamy quality that you'll love!

180g dates, soaked in water for at least 2 hours, with 1 tbs of water reserved
85g rolled oats

Instructions for the base

Line a round cake tin with a removable base with baking paper and set aside.
In a food processor, combine all base ingredients until the mixture comes together but still has some chunky bits within it.
Press mixture into prepared tin and place in the freezer to set.

Instructions for the vanilla layer

Combine all ingredients in a food processor until the mixture is as smooth as you can get it. The less chunky the mixture is, the better it will taste!
Remove the base from the freezer and pour the vanilla layer over it. Place it back in the freezer to set for 2 hours.

Instructions for the pineapple layer

Combine all ingredients into a food processor and again, blitz until it's as smooth as you can get it.
Remove the base and vanilla layer from the freezer and pour the pineapple layer over it.
