This really is one of our favourite desserts – it’s so hard to believe that is healthy and nutritious and we just love how beautiful it looks – the 4 layers look amazing and taste incredible too. The best thing about it though has to be that it’s super easy and there’s no baking involved whatsoever. We’re massive fans of cashew icing – which we’ve used in quite a few of our dessert recipes but for this one we’ve added a sprinkle of cinnamon which really compliments the other layers in the pie. We really hope you like it – let us know what your favourite layer is. We love them all!
