Foodie Friday: No-bake Fruit Cake

Happy Friday every! We all made it to the weekend….FINALLY! With the weekend…usually fun activities, family gatherings, and friend chaos starts adding up back to back. With all that chaos comes many opportunities for some delicious food and of course some sweets!

Be the one to offer bringing a dessert and try out this no-bake fruit cake! It is delicious and knock that sweet tooth without putting you in a sugar-coma!

Ingredients: 8 servings

For the crust:

• ½ cup sunflower seeds

• ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

• 6 medjool dates

For the frosting

• ½ cup coconut cream

• 1 tbsp honey

Fruit toppings

• 1 cup blueberries

• 1 cup raspberries

Instructions:

1. Line a round or square pan with parchment paper and set aside

2. Combine crust ingredients in a food processor and process on high for 3-4 minutes. Mixture is ready when you can press a little between your fingers and it sticks together

3. Spread the crust into the prepared cake pan. Slightly dampen your fingers with water and firmly press the crust into a thin, solid, even layer. Set aside.

4. To prepare the frosting, carefully remove the coconut cream from a can of full fat coconut milk that has been refrigerating at least 12 hours, yielding a ½ cup of cold coconut cream.

5. Combine the cream and honey in the food processor or a small blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until whipped and creamy.

6. Spread the coconut cream in an even layer on the crust.

7. Top the frosting layer with fresh fruit- you can use as much or as little as you desire.

8. To serve slice in 8 pizza slices or 16 squares depending on what type of pan you used.

Andrea has been at IPT since July of 2023 and has been the definition of consistency! She always makes adjustments to her nutrition and exercise when needed and pushes herself in workouts every single time. Each month she exceeds her goal of losing body fat mass, and has lost a total of 24lbs of BFM since joining! She's able to chest press 25 lb dumb bells and can do a full pushup without any assistance now. You can really see the difference in how Andrea carries herself and the confidence she has now compared to her first day at IPT. She completely transformed her life for the better!

Hi, my name is Dylan and I’ve been at IPT since December of 2022, and my fitness habits have greatly improved since then! Since I started at IPT, I’ve been consistent with all of my workouts at the gym, my workouts outside of the gym, and my nutrition. I’ve lost 13.2 pounds of body fat, and have gotten stronger and faster with every session. My training at IPT has helped me to throw a no-hitter this baseball season as well as decrease my 40 yard sprint time!
