This turned out fabulously, if I do say so myself (and I just did – so there.) I had a dream about this cake a few days ago and have been itching to make it ever since. I must admit – the avocado layer tasted sort of funky on its own and I was thinking “Hmm… maybe my subconscious failed to consider the weird combination of avocado and mint in an ice cream cake.” But it ended up tasting great with all the other delicious flavor pairings. Letting each thin layer freeze is a tad time-consuming, but it’s worth it.

How to Prepare Raw Layered Banana Ice Cream Cake [Vegan]

To make the crust: process the dates or prunes and flour until it all sticks together somewhat. Press into the bottom of a lined spring form pan and set aside.
To make each layer: blend the ingredients (in each list) until smooth, then pour each one in a separate bowl. Pour on part of the chocolate mixture quite thin, then let it harden in the freezer. Next, pour on a thin layer of beet mixture, let it freeze. You get the idea. Pour, freeze, pour, freeze. Put them in whatever order you want until you use all the mixtures up!To make to drizzle, stir ingredients together until combined then decorate, I also added some lemon zest – why not. Enjoy!
