How to Prepare Silky Raw Blueberry Cashew Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Soak the cashews overnight in water (or in boiling water for 1 hour if you're in a pinch).
Using a food processor, combine the dates, almonds, vanilla, and water. Pulse as needed to form a sticky, workable dough. This will take a few minutes.
Flatten the dough to fill the bottom of your mould (can be between 6-9 inches). Two layers of parchment paper and a rolling pin work well to keep things from sticking everywhere.
Blend the cashews, maple syrup, blueberries, and coconut oil until smooth. There should be no chunks.
Pour the mixture over the crust and tap the pan to level out the mixture and remove any bubbles.
Freeze the cake for at least 4-5 hours (or overnight). Leave at room temperature about 15 minutes before eating.
