- 2 Tbsp cacao powder
- 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/8 tsp salt

- 2 pints dairy free ice cream
Fudge Topping
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Line a 6" springform pan with parchment paper, set aside*
- For the crust: add all crust ingredients to food processor. Blend until mixture is course, crumbly and sticks together. Press crust into lined springform pan.
- For the Filling: soften ice cream and spread over crust. Freeze 1-2 hours or until set before adding topping**
- For the Topping: add all ingredients to a small sauce pan. Melt on the stove top, over low heat. Retrieve cake from freezer and pour fudge over ice cream*** Optional: add decorations such as chopped walnuts, bee pollen and cacao nibs.
Notes
*If using a 9" springform pan, double all ingredients.
**If you are using two different flavors of ice cream, you'll want to add them one at a time. The first ice cream layer will need to set before adding the second layer. Unless, that is, you don't mind the two layers blending together. If you're only using one type of ice cream, this extra step isn't necessary.
***The fudge can be poured into the springform pan. Or, you can remove the springform pan, place the cake on a large plate and pour the fudge on top so it drips down the sides.
