One day I baked the cakes, let them cool completely, wrapped them well and stashed them in the freezer.
Another day, I made the filling, put that into an air-tight container and froze that as well.

Instead of making pastry i made a base from butter and dark chocolate digestives and have chilled. However the filling requires 2 eggs added and baked to set. My question is would my base get messed up if i put in the oven once the filling is added. And secondly if i left out the eggs and added...
I've adapted my recipe to get the sugar from dates rather than Truvia. Please can I have your thoughts?
