Method

  2. In a large-size bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and mix until the mixture forms a soft dough and can be pinched between two fingers and stays together. Add more milk if necessary.
  4. Line a baking tray. Roll the dough into one sheet and flatten on the baking tray.
  5. Bake the cookie base for 12-18 minutes or until the edges are crisp. 
  6. Allow the mix to cool and dry out then put into a food processor and make the mixture into chucky crumble and add ¼ cup coconut oil
  7. Press the mixture into a springform cake tin 6 inch and drizzle some Lakanto Chocolate Topping over the base (Chill in the fridge for at least an hour) 

Filling

  1. Whisk the Coconut cream and Lakanto Icing Powder until it thickens, dissolve the agar agar in warm water and whisk into the coconut cream, remove the base from the fridge and pour the mixture into the tin, place back in the fridge and allow to set.
  2. Once set, use the Lakanto Chocolate Topping (ideally in a small piping bag) to create a swirl pattern over the top and then use any cookie crumb left over to sprinkle on the cake.
