Ingredients

  • 1 cup dates, seeds removed, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup macadamia nuts, chopped

    Step 1.
    To make the crumble, combine the dates, nuts, coconut, spices, collagen and cacao in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add a dash of maple syrup if moisture is needed.

    Step 2.
    For the mango layers, place 2 mangoes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Dice the remaining mango, finely.
