Deep Chocolate Cake - Vegan

Deep, soft and satisfying …

Yes it is sweet and caloric but at least it is made with natural ingredients :). Perfect as a reward for an intense workout, a running session or a long walk.

After all it is a healthy dessert for kids and adults, everybody who loves chocolate.

My child truly loves it. I also made it at a meeting with regular chocolate lover friends and they liked it very much. I did dot tell them from the start that it was vegan.

THE CRUST

INGREDIENTS :

• Raw nuts or almonds or pecan nuts - 150-200 grams

• Maple syrup - 1 spoon

• Sea salt - 1 tea spoon

• Cinnamon - 1/2 tea spoon (optional)

• Coconut butter - 1 spoon

Combine the crust ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix them at low speed until they are minced and well mixed. The mixture should look like couscous not like a paste. Place the mixture into a 20-22 cm tart pan and press with your hands the crust on the bottom of the pan. Make sure that the crust has an even distribution on the pan.

THE FILLING (feeling :)) :

INGREDIENTS :

• Raw almond butter - 50-75 grams

• Dried dates - 150 grams

• Maple syrup - 1 spoon

• Coconut butter - 1 spoon

• Vanilla bean, scraped - 1 pcs.

• Cacao powder - 50-75 grams

• Organic rice drink with coconut (or water) - 150-200 ml

Place the filling ingredients in a blender and process them till you obtain a paste with a creamy texture. Just not add too much liquid because the paste needs to be firm.

Pour this chocolate filling in the pan over the crust. Use a spatula for a uniform distribution of the paste. Put the pan in the freezer and with 2 hours before serving transfer it into the refrigerator. You can put some berries over the top at the moment of serving.

Enjoy.
