How is the crust for this vegan Stracciatella made?

The crust is formed by blending almonds and oats into a flour, then combining it with pulsed, soaked dates and other crust ingredients to create a dough that's pressed into a pan.

What gives the filling its creamy texture?

The creamy texture comes from cashews, which are whisked in warm water for an hour and then blended until smooth, combined with banana, coconut oil, and agave syrup.

Do I need to soak the dates and cashews?

Yes, soaking the dates in hot water for an hour helps create a smooth paste for the crust, and whisking cashews in warm water for an hour is essential for achieving a creamy, blended filling.

Can I use a different sweetener instead of agave syrup?

While the recipe specifies agave syrup for both the crust and filling, you could experiment with other liquid sweeteners like maple syrup, adjusting to taste as needed.

How should I store leftover vegan Stracciatella?

Once assembled, store the Stracciatella cake in the refrigerator. Given its creamy filling, it should keep well for a few days in an airtight container.
