4. Pour the crust into tin and press down until compact, flat and covering the whole of the bottom of the tin. Set aside.
Filling
1. In a blender add cashews, maple flavoured syrup, coconut milk, coconut oil, lemon juice, vanilla, sea salt and filling dependant additive (cacao, matcha and superblend or raspberries).
2. Blend until batter forms.
3. You may need to run a spatula down the sides of your blender to make sure you get everything then pulse again for added measure.
4. As you make each layer of filling, pour into separate bowls and set aside.
5. Pour bottom layer into cake tin (on top of base) flatten using a spatula to make nice and level.
6. Place in freezer for 30 minutes (repeat this with each layer).
