Raw Vegan Berry + Pistachio Slice

Another raw dessert creation! I like these ones because they were super simple and don't require a lot of layering like some of our other raw cakes! Plus they're sweet but not overly rich, so can be enjoyed any time of the day! My non-vegan family loved them too, which is always a pretty big achievement! ;) Here's the recipe!

Base

•   1/2 cup pistachios

•   1 cup medjool dates

Filling

•   1 cup cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours)

•   2 ripe bananas

•   1/2 cup blueberries

•   1 tbsp coconut sugar

•   1/2 cup mixed berries (do not add to processor!)

Chocolate topping

•   1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

•   1/4 cup cacao powder

•   2 tbsp maple syrup


DIRECTIONS:

-For the base, blend together dates and pistachios in a food processor and spread at the bottom of a rectangular dish

-For the filling combine ingredients in a food processor until smooth (EXCEPT the handful of mixed berries), then gently fold in the berries. 

-Pour into the pan and smooth out.

-Top with extra raspberries and crushed pistachios

-Place in the freezer for 8 hours or overnight.

-Once frozen, it's time to decorate with the chocolate!

-Mix together the coconut oil, cacao and maple syrup until completely smooth. If you are finding it difficult you may need to place the ingredients in a saucepan over low heat to achieve a smooth texture.

-Drizzle over the top, then slice into desired shapes!

-Store in the fridge for up to a week


Enjoy! xx
