Are your taste buds ready to go on a little tropical getaway? This rich and creamy coconut lime cake will make it happen, and it just so happens to be all raw, vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free as well. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup sultanas
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
Filling
- 3 cups of cashew nuts
- 1 1/2 cup coconut cream (RFR tip — blend young Thai coconut meat with just enough water to turn into a thick cream)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- zest of 2 limes
- juice of 3 limes
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Place all the crust ingredients into a food processor until slightly sticky dough is formed. Press the mixture in the bottom of a cake tin and set aside.
- Place all the filling ingredients into a food processor and run until smooth and creamy. You don’t want the mixture to be too thick, so if it is, add a bit more liquid (water or coconut cream).
- Pour the filling over the crust and place the cake in the freezer to set. Cut into slices and decorate with lime zest before serving. Enjoy!
