A few months back now, I visited the beautiful Island of Osea with Next where I took part in preparing Lunch for everyone with Spook, a talented bespoke cooking company. Mine and Sarah’s job was to take care of pudding, I mean it was a tough job but somebody had to do it.
But the pudding was so good that ever since I returned it has been in my mind ever since. I never knew healthy could taste so good, like seriously, when it tastes this good you really do wonder why anyone would choose an unhealthy option. So I frantically sent an e-mail to the Next team to get my hand on the recipe from the wonderful ladies at Spook and knock a dish of their Raw Banoffee pie up for myself. It was such a success that I simply had to share this with you.
70g Pecans
20g Desiccated Coconut
100g Fresh Medjool Dates
1 tbsp. Almond Butter
1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
75g Raw Cashew Nuts (soaked in water for 4 hours)

100g Medjool Dates

To make the crust, place ingredients from section 1 into the mini food processor, blend together then divide into three glasses.
Next make the filling – Place ingredients from section 2 into the mini food processor, blend until creamy then divide into three and
spread onto of the crust.
Finally make the caramel – Place ingredients from section 3 into the mini food processor, blend until smooth, then divide into three and drizzle the caramel on top of the filling to create a stack.
Place them into the freezer for 20 minutes then into the fridge until you need to serve.
