like the best acaí bowl you've ever had, in cake form. the flavor combinations in this raw cake taste like summer & happiness, which usually come together.
like all of my recipes, this cake is refined sugar-free, loaded with high quality nutrients & like most of my recipes, is also vegan, raw, paleo friendly, grain & gluten-free. you can tweak it as you need, to your liking.
crust:
1 c raw pistachios
1 c shredded coconut
1/2 c packed, pitted dates
1 T coconut oil
1/4 t sea salt
-if you've made a raw cake before, you know what to do & how you like to do it. I usually add everything to my food processor and process on high until it easily sticks together between my fingers (if too dry, add 1 t of water at a time). then, line the bottom of a 9" spring-form pan with parchment paper & evenly press crust down into the bottom of the pan. set aside in freezer while you make the filling.
acaí-lime filling:
2 c raw cashews, soaked overnight & drained
1 c packed young Thai coconut meat
1/2 c raw honey or liquid sweetener of choice
1/4 c coconut oil
3/4 c fresh lime juice
1/4 c coconut water
zest from 1 organic lime
2 T acaí powder
-add everything to a high-speed blender and blend until VERY smooth (you may need to do this several times to get the perfect consistency). pour & evenly spread over crust. top with crushed pistachios, fresh juicy strawberries or raspberries & black sea salt. freeze until firm. slice up & enjoy!
(store in fridge, or freezer up to 2 weeks)
