Scale
For the crust
- 10 dates, preferably soaked in water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup of oats
- 1/3 cup of shredded coconut
For the cream
- 2 cups of slightly overcooked quinoa (about 0.5 cup dry quinoa)

- 2 tbsp coconut yogurt or milk (optional)
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp sweetener of your choice (I like maple syrup or coconut sugar)
To decorate
- Orange slices
- Coconut meat or coconut flakes
Instructions
- Add dates, maple syrup, oats and coconut to a food processor, and process into a sticky, crumbly mixture. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water or more maple syrup if necessary.
- Press into a springform pan (I used a 18 cm/7 inch pan). Set aside.
- Add quinoa, orange juice and zest, yogurt, vanilla extract and sweetener of your choice to a blender or food processor, and blend into a smooth consistency. Adjust sweetness to your taste.
- Transfer the mixture into the pan over the crust.
- Place the pan in the fridge and allow it to set for 2-3 hours or overnight. Then simply remove from the pan, and decorate with orange slices and coconut. Enjoy!
