Ingredients:

For the filling: 
7 sticks rhubarb
100g blackberries
1-2 inches fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp filtered water
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
juice of 1/2 an orange
2 tbsp coconut sugar

For the crumble: 
1/2 cup ground almonds 
1/2 cup rolled oats 
1 tsp ground cinnamon 
1 tsp ground ginger 
1/2 cup chopped, roasted hazelnuts (+ more to garnish) 
1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
1 tbsp coconut oil 
1 tbsp maple syrup 
flaked almonds to garnish 

For the cashew cream:
2 heaped tsp Aduna Baobab Superfruit Powder  
200g unsalted activated cashews, (soaked in filtered water overnight + drained)
1-2 tbsp filtered water, depending on desired consistency 
splash of unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
juice of 1/2 a small lemon  
1 tbsp raw honey

Method:

Preheat the oven to 160C.

Cut the leaves and the ends off the rhubarb and discard. Wash and chop the sticks into 1cm pieces.

In a pan over a medium heat, add all the filling ingredients and gently simmer for 5 minutes until the rhubarb is soft.

Taste the mix to check for sweetness, then add to a medium dish and set aside.

To make the crumble, add the dry ingredients into a large bowl & stir. Add the coconut oil and maple syrup, then rub the mixture between your hands until a crumb forms.

Spoon the crumb over the rhubarb mix and sprinkle with flaked almonds and more chopped hazelnuts. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the crumble is golden.

Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

To make the cashew cream, add the activated cashews to a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients and blend until a smooth consistency forms. Sweeten to taste and add more water or almond milk if a thinner consistency is desired. 

Enjoy!
