This is my favourite dessert at the moment and I wonder if I will ever tire of it. The soaking liquid from the nuts is full of nutrients so don’t throw it away. Either drink it yourself or give your plants a little drink.
For the base, drain the nuts and dates, reserving the soaking liquid from the dates.
Combine the nuts, dates and nutmeg in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Press into the base of a 23-cm springform cake tin. Chill for at least 10 minutes while you are preparing the filling.
For the filling, place the soaking liquid from the dates in a blender or food processor, add the other ingredients and blend until smooth.
Pour over the base.
Chill until set, about an hour or so but better overnight.
Serve the cake with the mango coulis.
