Raw Chocolate Crispy Cake
Summary: Raw chocolate crispy cakes, with not a cornflake in sight! Truly delicious.
Ingredients
- 3 cups dried coconut (flakes or dessicated)
- 1 cup dates, soaked overnight and soak water kept
- 1 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/3 cup coconut butter
- 1 vanilla bean, scraped
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Set the coconut butter to melt over a mug of hot water.
- Make the date paste. Put the soaked dates in your food processor with a little of the soak water and pulse. Continue to add small amounts of water and pulse until you achieve a smooth, paste-like consistency.
- Transfer the date paste to a mixing bowl. Add all of the other ingredients, including the melted coconut butter, and mix well.
- You should end up with a thick mixture. Add a little more of the date soak water if you feel it’s necessary, although you’re not aiming for stickiness.
- Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop up the mixture and press it into the scoop using a spoon.
- You can either eat the cakes now or dehydrate for 3-4 hours until warm and crispy on the outside.
