How to Prepare Raw Cocoa Vanilla Swiss Roll [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a food processor, add all the ingredients for the cocoa dough and blend until smooth.
Place a sheet of kitchen paper down on a flat surface. Using your hands, shape the dough into a ball, then flatten it as much as you can. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and then roll it out into a flat shape using a rolling pin. Remove the paper and cut the edges with a knife. You should have a large rectangle.
Blend the soaked nuts for the vanilla dough in a food processor. Then, add remaining ingredients and blend until a smooth texture forms. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 20 munites to firm up, then spread it over the cocoa layer using a spatula and clean up any edges.
Carefully roll the dough up and place in the freezer for about 20 minutes. After that, let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
