No Bake Strawberry Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free)

The strawberries in my garden are starting to slow down. So, before they’re gone, it’s time to celebrate by using these pretty little fruits in a special dish! 🙂

After my No Bake Cherry Cake was so successful I’ve tried a variation with strawberries. It turned out as yummy as I had hoped!

Who would think when looking at this decadent creation, that it is even vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free? And no baking required! This recipe doesn’t require many ingredients and is perfect for a special occasion.

Course Cake

Cuisine German

Servings 1 cake (18 cm)

Equipment

• 18cm / 7inch cake pan

Ingredients

  

For the crust:

• 110 g almonds soak in water for 8 hours, then rinse and drain
• 70 g dates and diced
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds

For the filling:

• 250 g strawberries
• 70 g dates pitted
• 20 g cacao butter melted
• 210 g cashews soaked for approx. 4 hours, rinsed and drained

For the topping:

• 70 g cashew nuts (soaked for at least 6 hours and drained)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 10 g cacao butter melted
• 50 ml water

Instructions

 

• For the crust, in a powerful blender pulse the almonds and dates to fine crumbles. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in ground flax seed and mix well.
• Line the cake tin with baking paper. Spread the dough evenly and press it firm.
• For the strawberry layer, blend 150g of the strawberries with dates and cacao butter until smooth. Then add cashews and blend once again. You may need a tamper for this step.
• Chop up the remaining strawberries and mix them with the strawberry cream. Spread the cream evenly in the cake tin.
• For the vanilla layer, blend all ingredients until smooth (a smaller powerful bullet blender is ideal for this step). Pour the vanilla layer over the strawberry layer.
• Place in freezer until firm (approx. 5 hours). Let thaw a little before cutting slices, then store chilled until serving.
