SERVES 8. HANDS-ON TIME 25 MIN, PLUS AT LEAST 12 HOURS CHILLING
FOR THE BASE
• 100g ground almonds
• 150g light rich tea biscuits
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted, plus extra for greasing
FOR THE TOPPING
• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup

• 270g light cream cheese (we used Philadelphia)
• 3 gelatine leaves (we used Costa Fine Leaf, from Waitrose and Ocado)
• Cocoa powder to dust
1. In a food processor, whizz the almonds, biscuits and 2 tbsp melted coconut oil with 60ml water until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Lightly oil a 20cm loosebottomed cake tin, then press the biscuit mixture evenly into the bottom to form the base. Chill in the fridge while you make the banana topping.
2. Whizz the bananas, agave nectar or maple syrup, vanilla paste, quark and cream cheese in a food processor.
3. Put the gelatine leaves and 50ml cold water in a small saucepan and gently dissolve the gelatine over a very low heat, being careful not to boil the water.
4. Pour the dissolved gelatine and water mixture into the cream cheese filling, mix well, then pour onto the biscuit base. Return to the fridge and chill for at least 12 hours, ideally overnight. Sift over a generous dusting of cocoa powder just before serving.
