Get out a 6" or 9" springform pan
And the ingredients are on the lux side, but it still costs less, I would estimate, than either making one with a bunch of eggs and cheese (and the triple bypass if you eat that whole puppy yourself). I lived with an aristocratic Auntie the first year I went to College and she taught me to always use the best ingredients I could afford, and I have never found that to be bad advice. In my case, everything below is organic or next to it.
Before deciding to make the chiazz cake: (1)Buy your ingredients, (2)soak the nuts* and make the chia seed gel at least 12 hours before, and, just before processing, (3)measure out the ingredients into separate small bowls (ramekins
The Bottom Crust
- Place 1 C. Shredded Coconut in the Vitamix or the food processor and process until fluffy-powdery
- Add in 1 C. Walnuts (soaked and dried)
- pinch of Stevia
- pinch of Celtic Sea Salt
- pinch of Cayenne
The Chia-zz Cake
- 1 C. Nut Mylk (I used Coconut Milk but walnut or almond are great)
- 2 C. Almonds (soaked and dried)
- 2 T. Lemon Juice
- 2 T. Chia seed Gel (1/4 C. chia seed in 1 C. Water, stirred well, and set in fridge 12+ hours)
- 1 tsp. Vanilla
- large pinch of Stevia
- pinch of Celtic Sea Salt
- 1/2 C. raw Fairtrade Cacao* (Watch this movie if you wonder "why Fairtrade?")
- 1 C. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (melted in a bowl in a container of hot water)
I personally chose to grind up the almonds to a fine powder in the Vita-mix and then added to the Food Processor, but all can be done in the Vita-Mix. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the Coconut Oil and spin until silky smooth. Add the coconut oil and homogenize. Spoon over the crust, smooth top, and put in the fridge if you are going to eat it tomorrow, or put it in the freezer if you want to eat it in an hour. Enjoy!
To your living health!
