Methods/steps

Crust:

2) Press into the bottom of a 6” springform pan, or into a pie plate.

Filling:

1) Blend the first four ingredients until completely smooth. Add the coconut oil. Continue blending until incorporated. Transfer 1 cup of this mixture into a bowl.

2) Add the berries to the remaining cream in the blender and pulse the berries until they start to break down, keeping some texture. Transfer the berry mixture into a bowl.

Assembly:

2) Now, with a knife, swirl the two creams together into a pretty pattern.

3) Chill the cake for a few hours, or until firm.
