A raw, vegan, sugar-free, possibly even gluten-free cake, that can't be tasty, can it? Well, and oh so easy to make! You don't need an oven for this cake, just a food processor and a cake pan. Completely guilt-free, so feel free to take another piece.
You need for the chocolate bottom :
2 ½ cup dried dates
½ cup oatmeal flour (possibly gluten-free)
1 ¼ cup almonds
1 tablespoon cocoa
For the mint cheesecake you will need:
4 cups cashew nuts (soak them overnight beforehand)
½ cup coconut oil (melted)
the juice of 1 ½ to 2 limes
tablespoon vanilla extract
· drops of stevia to taste
· 3 to 4 large handfuls of fresh mint leaves
Topping: generous handful of raw cacao nibs
How do you make the healthy chocolate mint cake?
1. Start by making the bottom; Place all ingredients in the food processor until it becomes a sticky mass.
2. The oatmeal flour is made by grinding ordinary oatmeal in the food processor beforehand.
3. If the soil is too dry or does not stick together well, use more dates; if it's too sticky, use a little more almonds.
4. Press the mixture into the pie crust.
The bottom is ready, now on with the cake
5. It is important that you soak the cashew nuts overnight in a large pan of water. Put the cashew nuts together with all the ingredients in the blender, wait a little longer with the coconut oil. When it has been ground to a smooth consistency (scrape down the sides each time), add the melted coconut oil and mix again.
6. Add more mint, vanilla, stevia or lime juice to taste. Spread the cheesecake mixture over the bottom and let it set overnight in the fridge.
7. The next day, sprinkle the raw cacao nibs on top and place a mint leaf in the center of the cake to finish it off.
Enjoy your healthy piece of pie!
