"Raw" Vegan Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake With Raw Magic Ice and Walnutty Date Base

                                

I didn't really count how many bananas I used for each layer but approx 5-6 depending on how big you want the cake to be. A very yummy guilt free ice cream anytime of the day, The flavor reminds me of banana paddle pops without the dairy!

Ingredients
Frozen Bananas approx 15 (slightly thawed)
Raspberries or Strawberries (approx 1-1/2 cups)
Cacao Powder (for choc layer to taste) or Cocoa Powder even Carob powder
Vanilla extract
5-6 Medool Dates
1 cup Walnuts

Instructions
In a food processor or blender add Dates and nuts till it holds together when pressed, In a spring form pan add the base mixture and press it in.
Add 5 bananas to the processor and vanilla blend till a soft serve consistency and pour it into the base and smooth down, Pop it into the freezer for 5 mins while making the pink layer.
Add the next 5 bananas and raspberries or strawberries and mix till it becomes smooth add it on top of the vanilla layer and put it back into the freezer, Finally add the last few bananas to the processor and approx 1/4cup of cacao powder or Carob powder but to individual taste and blend well, If the bananas are ripe and spotted they should be sweet enough if not add a couple of dates per layer.
Pour the final layer on top of pink layer and freeze.
