About

Laura uses local brambles, hand-picked near Tarskavaig. Instead of weighing out measurements, she says it is easier to use cups, so this recipe is given in cups, each measuring 250ml.

Ingredients

For the crust

¾ cup of almonds or mixed nuts, raw
⅔ cup of coconut chips, raw

Method

Process the crust ingredients, except for the agave or maple syrup, in a high-powered blender until a sticky crumble is formed. Add the agave or maple syrup and blend until combined.

Transfer the crust mixture to either a 13cm Springform pan or divide evenly into 3 x 10cm individual deep cupcake moulds, press the mixture firmly down and place them in the freezer while you are working on
