How to Prepare No-Bake Maple Cream Cake [Vegan, Raw]

For the Crust:

  1. First, prepare the crust by combining everything together in a food processor until chunky paste forms.
  2. Press this into the bottom of a spring-form pan, then freeze.

For the Filling:

  1. Prepare the filling by combining all the ingredients together in a high speed blender and blend smooth
  2. Pour into the prepared crust and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to set
  3. Unmold, then drizzle with the maple syrup/molasses syrup
  4. Thaw for about 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

Be sure to soak the nuts in about 6 cups of water with 1 Tbs salt for 8 hours or overnight. Rinse them the next day and then they are ready to use in the recipe. The freezer seems to keep this Maple Cream Cake in best shape, but it can be stored for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Can be served semi frozen or simply out of the refrigerator, your option. Will freeze wrapped well for up to 2 months

Comments:

  1. 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!
