I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Put all ingredients in TM bowl and pulverise on speed 8-9 for 20-30 seconds, until mixture holds together when pressed. If mixture is not holding together, add 10-20ml water and pulverise on speed 8 for 5 seconds until desired texture is achieved.
Press mixture into base of a springform cake tin approx. 18cm diameter, and put into freezer while preparing fillings. Wash bowl, ready to make Orange & White Chocolate Filling.
Place orange zest into TM bowl and mill for 10 seconds, speed 9-10, set aside.
Cut cacao butter into small pieces if any large chunks present, then place into TM bowl and pulverise on speed 4-5 for 5 seconds.
Scrape cacao butter down from sides of TM bowl, and melt for 3-5 minutes, at 37°C, on speed 3.
Add rest of ingredients including orange zest into TM bowl, turn speed dial slowly to speed 9 and blend for 1 minute on speed 9.
Scrape down sides if mixture is not smooth, blend for another 30 seconds on speed 9, or until very smooth.
Pour half mixture on top of the base in springform pan, return to freezer to set for a few hours, place remaining mixture in fridge.

Tip
1.
I soak and dehydrate my raw almonds beforehand, to neutralize the enzyme inhibitors (which are naturally present to prevent them from sprouting prematurely), which otherwise inhibits absorption of nutrients. Raw almonds can be used without soaking & dehydrating first though.
2.
Soaking the cashew nuts beforehand is for the same reason, and also helps the cashews become creamier and smoother when blended. If soaking nuts, discard soak water when finished and rinse nuts before using.
3.
Lecithin is used as an emulsifier (to help hold the cake together). It can be found in health food shops….try to get organic, non-genetically modified.
