Health benefits

Using dates as a natural sweetener provides extra fibre and acts as a binding agent for pie crusts. Dates are anti-inflammatory and contain fibre. They also contain a powerful antioxidant called flavonoid, as well as the antioxidants carotenoids and phenolic acid. Although dates are nutritious, they still contain high levels of fructose (sugar) – so use them in moderation.

 

Alternative topping: Jam made from chia seeds

250g frozen strawberries, raspberries or blueberries
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla powder

How to:

1. Place the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes while stirring.
2. Allow to cool completely.
3. Blend in a blender until smooth, then pour over the top of the frozen cake.
