Nevertheless, it was a good excuse to make another raw cake, this time with less nuts and more avocados :)
What will you need:
For the crust:
- 1.5 cups of dates
- 2 cups of walnuts
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp cocoa
For the filling:
- 0.5 cups of dates
- 1 cup of cashews
- 3 avocados
- 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil (or 12 tbsp)
- 200 grams frozen berries
- 1 tbsp psyllium husk
- 1/2 cup or rice milk (or more, if needed)
- 2 tbsp agave nectar
- 2 tbsp raw cocoa powder
- pinch of vanilla
- pinch of salt
Method:
- Melt the coconut oil by simply putting the whole jar in a pot filled with hot water. Wait until the coconut oil melts.
- Crust: Place the dates and the coconut oil in a food processor and process until a smooth paste is formed. Add in the walnuts, salt and vanilla and pulse a few times, so the walnuts stay chunky. Press the dough firmly into the bottom of either a cake or pie form. Put the crust to the freezer to set for approximately 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Place all ingredients into a high speed blender but LEAVE the cocoa out. Blend on high until a very smooth and creamy batter is formed. If you need, add more rice milk (or liquid sweetener for a sweet tongue :) to the paste. If you don't have a blender you can as well use a food processor.
- Take about 3 tbsp of the batter in a separate bowl for decoration.
- Add the cocoa powder to the blender, and process until everything is mixed well together.
- Pour the filling over the crust, distribute evenly using a spatula or by shaking the form side to side.
- Take the paste for decorating, which you have previously separated (in step 4). Put it into an icing kit, and decorate your cake following your own fantasy :)
- Place the cake to the fridge and refrigerate at least for 3-4 hours. The best is to refrigerate overnight, covered.
- Serve the cake immediately after taking out from the fridge.
