How to Prepare Raw Carrot-Orange Cupcakes With Coconut Cream [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
To Make the Base:
- Combine dates and walnuts in a food processor until sticky and crumbly. Press into prepared silicone cupcake moulds (this will make unmoulding easier), then place in the freezer.
To Make the Cupcake:
- Zest the orange for the topping, then peel it. Add all ingredients, except carrots, to a food processor and blend until uniform.
- Transfer to a bowl and then grate the carrots. Mix to combine, then set aside for 15 minutes.
- Remove moulds from the base and top with the carrot filling, the place in the freezer for 2 hours.
To Make the Coconut Cream:
- Just before 2 hours have passed, make the coconut cream. Open the can, pour out the water (save for smoothies), and scoop the cream into the bowl of a food processor. Whip until creamy, adding sweetener and vanilla while the machine is running.
- Carefully remove the cupcakes from their moulds, then decorate with a dollop of coconut cream and orange zest.

This recipe is not "raw", because the recipe calls for Maple Syrup. Maple syrup is not a "raw" food!
Here is why…
For a food to be considered "raw", some experts state it can not be heated up past 104°F – 120°F. Maple Syrup is boiled at around 219°F when it is being processed!
