Have you ever heard of dragon fruit? This beautiful fruit has a mild fresh taste that won't overshadow the maple and nutty tones of the cake crust. It will go perfectly over the vegan cheese filling and will give it a nice, smooth topping.

Method of preparing the cake:
-
Line or grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
-
Pulse all crust ingredients in the food processor until you have a uniform, sticky dough. Press to the bottom of the pan and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
-
Pulse all cake ingredients in the blender until you have a uniform cream. Pour over the cake crust, flatten with a spatula and chill in the fridge.
-
Heat all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan over medium flame. Stir for 2-3 minutes. Reduce to a low flame simmer and keep stirring for 5 minutes simmering.
-
When the fruits dissolve into a syrup remove from heat. Spread over the cake and chill for another 5 minutes in the fridge before serving.
Chef's Tip:
If you can't find dragon fruit, swap it for 1 cup raspberries.
