When mixing, best to avoid washing blender each time.  Work with the lightest colour first, the cashew layer, then mint, then chocolate. Then wash ;)

Maximum colour contrast and visual impact are best with a chocolate layer with a light coloured layer.  As in the first image, nut base, then white layer, then chocolate layer, then green layer, then ganache? Still finding the right layer colour combinations


Delicious easy-peasy chocolate ganche topping
