raw vegan mulberry cashew caramel cake





a rich, creamy and insanely delicious treat. best of all, it's quite simple and stores great in the freezer for weeeeks. so you can always have a slice on hand when you need a chocolatey fix (: 
this is one of my top 5 favorite healthy desserts!

crust: 
2 c activated almonds or walnuts
1 c dried mulberries 
8 large pitted dates
2 T coconut oil

-add all ingredients to a food processor and run until it sticks together when pressed between fingers. evenly press into the bottom and up sides of a 9" springform pan (lined with parchment) and set in freezer. 

filling:
2/3 c raw cashew butter 
11/3 c soft pitted dates
1/4 c pure maple syrup 
1 t vanilla
1/4 c hot water
1/2 c coconut oil

-add everything to a high speed blender and blend until very smooth and creamy. pour into crust and smooth over. set back in freezer until firm. 

chocolate topping:
1/2 c raw cacao powder
1/2 c coconut oil, gently melted
1/3 c raw honey or pure maple syrup

-add ingredients to a bowl and whisk well. pour over cake, top with more mulberries and set in freezer until firm. then slice, serve, or freeze for later!
