Ever since I heard of pink chai I was in love with the idea. I mean, the flavour of chai is just soooo lovely, warming and cozy! Add a little pink tinge to it and it becomes a next level cute hot drink. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I actually never got to enjoy this delicious hot drink though, until I came across this (German) recipe from Der Veg ist das Ziel<\/a>. I made it – and loved it from the first to the last sip! And I kept thinking of it, those colours, those flavours…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After I played around with a few recipe ideas I tried a no-bake version of a pink chai flavoured cake. It was a hit! So dreamy, creamy, delicious! And as always it is vegan, gluten-free<\/strong> and without refined sugars<\/strong>! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The secre<\/strong>t to the dreamy pink colour? Beetroot powder! And turmeric if you wish to have a dusky pink colour. Without the tumeric it will have a brighter pink colour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Makes a 18cm (7inch) spring-form:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the crust:<\/strong>
\n1 cup (140g) macadamias (or other nuts), soaked
\n3\/4 cup (105g) dates, pitted and diced
\n3 tablespoons FAIR-TRADE cocoa or cacao powder<\/p>\n

For the filling:<\/strong>
\n1 cup (140g) dates, pitted and diced
\n1 1\/4 cup (310ml) water
\n2 cups (280) cashews, soaked
\n2-3 tablespoons cacao butter, melted<\/p>\n

3-4 teaspoons beetroot powder (depending on how much colour you prefer)
\n2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon ground allspice
\n1\/2 teaspoon ground turmeric<\/p>\n

Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Place nuts and dates into high-speed blender and pulse to fine crumbles.<\/p>\n

2. Transfer to a bowl, sift in cocoa or cacao powder and mix well.<\/p>\n

3. Line base of springform with baking paper. Scoop the chocolate dough into the tin, spread evenly and press firm.<\/p>\n

4. For the filling blend all ingredients but the beetroot powder and the spices. You might need to use the tamper in order to get the mixture smooth.<\/p>\n

5. Take about half a cup of the cashew cream aside. Then add beetroot powder and spices and blend a little longer.<\/p>\n

6. Pour mixture into the cake tin. Then add most of the ‘plain’ cashew cream and gently fold it in. You can mix it by swirling it around with a spoon.<\/p>\n

7. Mix the remaining cashew cream with just a little water to make it runny. Then drizzle it over the cake, moving the spoon in circling motions. Garnish with cacao nibs or other ingredients of your choice.<\/p>\n

8. Place in freezer until set (about 6 hours), let defrost a little before cutting slices, then chill until serving.<\/p>\n

Enjoy! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
