DID SOMEONE SAY CLEAN MUDCAKE?!



One of my favourite creations yet! An insanely delectable Raw Mudcake - made the senses run wild - with 2 for 1 texture: a crunchy base and smooth centre. For all you chocolate fanatics out there, give this a go. You won't be disappointed. 


NEED:
Food processor

For the base:

2 teaspoons cacao powder
About 150g almonds
10-15 medjool dates
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
2 tablespoons desiccated coconut

Food process all these ingredients - if they aren't sticking together - add more dates or some maple syrup.
Line tin with some baking paper on the bottom and press base into tin. Place in freezer.

For the filling:

1 medium sized avocado
1 cup cashews (SOAKED OVERNIGHT)
70g cacao powder
About 70g coconut oil
50g coconut sugar
60-70g honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence
Pinch of Himalayan salt

Heat up coconut oil, coconut sugar & honey/maple syrup (low heat)
Then place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth (may take a few minutes)

Grab tin out of freezer and place filling in. Freeze over night & then garnish with whatever you may please.

HIGH TEA



Last Sunday my mother held a high tea for her girlfriends at our new abode. I helped her make and prepare the nibbles, and set the table - turned out so cute (and the food was devine - definitely over-indulged)! I made my tradish raw vegan "cheesecake" with an added spin - whole almonds around the outer and swirled the blueberry and raspberry layers together. YUM! (Scones were on their jolly way)
