How can I ensure the ice cream cake layers remain creamy and not icy?

When blending the ingredients for each layer, add coconut milk if your blender struggles, as this will help keep the mixture moving and ensure a creamy consistency, unlike water which would make it icy.

What is the best way to decorate the top of this raw ice cream cake?

After spreading the vanilla layer on top, drop small dots of the reserved matcha and blueberry mixtures onto it. Then, use a toothpick or chopstick to drag through the dots, creating heart shapes.

How should I serve this Raw Ice Cream Cake after it's been frozen solid?

For the best creamy texture, it is recommended to let the cake thaw for a bit after taking it out of the freezer before serving.

Are the Medjool dates in the matcha layer essential for this recipe?

No, the Medjool dates in the matcha layer are listed as optional, so you can choose to omit them if you prefer or adjust the sweetness with another natural sweetener.

What size cake pan is ideal for assembling these layers?

The recipe suggests using a 6-inch cake pan, and an adjustable one is noted as particularly helpful for spreading the layers evenly.

How to Prepare Raw Ice Cream Cake With Matcha, Blueberry, and Vanilla Layers [Vegan]

For each layer: just blend all the ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth and very thick! If your blender cannot handle it, add some coconut milk to keep things moving, and keep things creamy (if you add water it'll just make it icy).
Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the matcha and blueberry mixtures.
Spread each layer evenly into a 6 inch cake pan (mine is adjustable), with the vanilla layer being on top. Now drop little dots of the matcha and blueberry mixtures onto the top of the cake. Use a toothpick or chopstick and drag the tip through the dots - it makes hearts!
Freeze until solid. When you wanna serve this, I recommend letting it thaw for a bit so it gets creamy.
