Method
In separate bowls, soak the cashews and almonds in water overnight.
Using a food processor, whiz together the almonds, dates and coconut flour until it is resembles fine breadcrumbs. Use the back of spoon, press the mixture into a 15cm round cake tin bringing it up at the sides.
Cut the pineapple in half, take off the skin, chop finely and spread out over the base mixture - it should not go to the edges.
Back in the food processor, whiz together the cashews, vanilla paste, agave syrup, lemon juice and coconut water.
Melt the coconut oil in a small bowl placed over boiling water, add to the mixture. It should be blended until very smooth.
Pour the cashew mixture to the tin and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
An hour before you are ready to serve, remove from the freezer.
Grate the chocolate and spread it over finished cake.
