METHOD

Biscuit Base

Line base and sides of a 20cm springform cake tin. In a food processor, blitz biscuits until crumbly, some small chunks will add texture to your base. Pour into a large mixing bowl. 

Next, biltz pistachios until roughly chopped, add to mixing bowl. Add remaining base ingredients and mix until well combined. 

Press into cake tin using the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. 

Frozen Yoghurt

Place all frozen yoghurt ingredients in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Pour into cake tin and freeze for 6 hours or until solid. Remove cake from the freezer 15 minutes before serving to give it time to soften. Top with fresh raspberries and toasted coconut.
