No-Bake Raspberry Chocolate Torte (Vegan, Gluten-free, No Refined Sugar)

This vegan and gluten-free no-bake raspberry chocolate torte has quite an unusual flavour combination. The slightly tart raspberries combined with dark chocolate flavour certainly kick your tastebuds. You also get a good portion of antioxidants with each slice. :)
Course Cake
Cuisine German
Servings 1 cake (18 cm)

Equipment

  • strong blender
  • spring-form 18 cm

Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 150 g hazelnuts (soak them in filtered water for at least 8 hours, the rinse and drain)
  • 200 g dates pitted and diced
  • 25 g desiccated coconut
  • 60 g FAIR-TRADE cacao or cocoa powder
  • 60 ml water start with less and use more if needed

For the raspberry layer:

  • 220 g raspberries
  • 210 g cashews (soak them in filtered water for at least 4 hours, the rinse and drain)
  • 105 g dates pitted and diced
  • 25 g cacao butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Pulse the hazelnuts to fine crumbles and transfer to a bowl. Pulse the dates to small pieces and add to the bowl.
  • Sift in the cacao or cocoa powder and mix well. Add just enough water to make a moist dough that is easy to knead.
  • Line the springform with baking paper and scoop half of the dough into the form. Spread it evenly and press it firm.
  • Prepare the raspberry cream by first blending the raspberries with the dates. Then add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. It might pay to use a tamper to get the mixture moving.
  • Spread approx. half of the amount of the raspberry cream into the springform . Then place springform in freezer until the filling is relatively firm (approx. 1 to 2 hours).
  • Scoop the remaining dough into the springform and press it firm. Then spread the remaining raspberry cream into the form. Garnish if desired (I used dehydrated raspberry and desiccated coconut).
  • Place in freezer until firm (approx. 4 to 6 hours). Then let thaw a little before cutting slice. Keep chilled until serving.
