  • 135 g dried dates pitted and halved
  • 4 avocados peeled and stone removed
  • 45 g dried goji berries

  4. Pour the blender contents into a bowl and stir in the cocoa powder and goji berries. Combine together well.

  5. Remove the set hazelnut base from the refrigerator and spoon and spread over the date and avocado mix. Smooth and level out using a palette knife and leave to refrigerate overnight to fully set.

  6. Dress with the raspberries and edible flowers. Slice using a warmed knife when ready to serve.
