Raw Chocolate Avocado Cream Cake
from FurtherFood.com

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours for freezing
Servings: 10

INGREDIENTS

For the crust:

  • 300 grams or 2 cups pecans
  • 30 grams or 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 110 grams or 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the cream:

  • 2 avocados
  • 80 ml or 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 210 grams or <3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 30 grams or 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon of any nut of your choice (I prefer hazelnut)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

For the crust:

  1. In a food processor, pulse the pecans until they are crumbly. Be careful not to process too long (otherwise you will have pecan butter!!).
  2. Add in the rest of the crust ingredients, and process until well mixed, scraping down the sides if necessary.
  3. Transfer the crust into a pan and press down firmly.
  4. Pop into freezer to set while making the cream.

For the cream:

  1. Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.
  2. Remove the crust from freezer and pour the cream on top of the crust. You can garnish your cake with some Nutella Cream, pieces of crumbled raw chocolate and rasperries.
  3. Place in the freezer for 2 hours to firm. Before serving, remove from freezer and allow to sit on the counter for about 5-10 minutes*.

*Note: Leftovers can be placed back in the freezer.

Wow. This looks so good! (I’ve had avocado-based chocolate and it’s really good!) I wish I was more of a chef and could attempt something like this.
