No Bake Raspberry Chocolate Tart (Vegan, Gluten-free, Fruit-Sweetened)

It’s summer here in New Zealand and this year I have been super successful with growing my own raspberries. It’s such an amazing feeling to got out into the garden and to pick a whole bowl of fresh raspberries! 🙂

These berries had to be used for something special. With Christmas just around the corner, I opted for a festive No Bake Raspberry Chocolate Cake. I absolutely loved how it turned out! 🙂

This cake will work with other berries, or a delicious berry mix. And if you are not a fan of combing fruit with chocolate, you can omit the cocoa powder in the crust. It’ll still tastes amazing, if not better (deepening on your favourite taste).

When I listed the ingredients, I was surprised to see that it is actually only 7 ingredients that you need! So simple and easy – I love it! Of course it is vegan, gluten-free and without refined sugar. The perfect dessert for Christmas, I like to keep pre-cut slices in the freezer to have a dessert ready even with short notice 😉

Course Cake

Cuisine German

Servings 1 cake 35 x 10 cm

Equipment

• 35 x 10cm cake tin
• high-speed blender

Ingredients

  

For the crust:

• 140 g hazelnuts (soak in water, the rinse and drain)
• 100 g dates pitted and diced
• 3 tablespoon FAIR-TRADE cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon water

For the filling:

• 250 g raspberries
• 100 g dates pitted and diced
• 100 ml water
• 40 g cacao butter melted
• 280 g cashews (soak in water for a few hours, then rinse and drain)

Instructions

 

• Line cake tin with baking paper. For the crust, place soaked hazelnuts and dates in high-speed blender and pulse until crumbly.
• Transfer crumbles into a bowl, add cocoa powder and stir to combine. Should it be too dry, add one tablespoon of water. Spread evenly into cake tin and press firm.
• For the filling, blend all ingredients in a strong high-speed blender until smooth. You may need to use the tamper to keep the mixture turning inside the jug.
• Pour the filling over the crust and spread evenly.
• Garnish if you like (I use freeze dried raspberry powder and chopped pistachios). Place in freezer until set (approx. 3 to 5 hours). Cut slices when it’s still semi frozen, then store covered until serving.
