How do I create the raspberry swirl effect on top of the cakes?

After pouring the main filling, drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of smooth raspberry puree onto each cake, then use a toothpick or knife tip to gently swirl the two mixtures together.

What is the best way to get the heavy coconut cream for the filling?

To get the heavy coconut cream, chill a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. The cream will separate and solidify at the top, allowing you to easily scoop it off.

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen for the swirl?

Yes, the recipe specifies 1/4 cup of frozen raspberries, melted or fresh, for the swirl, so fresh raspberries can be blended into a smooth puree.

How should I store these Mini Raspberry Swirl Cakes?

Keep the cakes in the freezer until solid, typically 1-2 hours. When ready to eat, remove them from the muffin cups and allow them to thaw for 10-15 minutes.

How to Prepare Mini Raspberry Swirl Cakes [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Prepare the crust by removing the pits from the dates. Put them in a blender along with the nuts and salt. Blend until nuts are crumbled and the crust starts to stick together. If this is not happening, add more dates one by one until the crust sticks together.
Press about 2 teaspoons of the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Place in the freezer to rest while you’re making the filling
When the coconut milk can has chilled, open it and carefully scoop off the heavy coconut cream that has formed on the top of the can (save the liquid coconut water in the fridge for the next time you’re making a smoothie).
Place the coconut cream along with the rest of the filling’s ingredients in a blender and blend until you get a smooth mixture. Set this mixture aside while you’re making the raspberry swirl.
Put 1/4 cup melted frozen raspberries in a blender and blend until you get a smooth raspberry purée.
Take about a tablespoon of raspberry filling and pour it on the top of the chilled crust. Then take about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry purée and pour it over the filling. Take the end of a toothpick or a tip of a knife and swirl the two mixtures around to make an artistic drawing.
Put the raspberry cakes in a freezer and keep there for 1-2 hours until solid. Remove them from the muffin cups and allow to thaw for about 10 to 15 minutes before eating them.
