Chocolate mud cake ingredients
2 cups raw cashews (soaked in filtered water for at least 8 hours)
2 tbs cacao powder
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 heaped tbs coconut oil or coconut butter
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
3-4 medjool dates
pinch himalayan crystal salt
2 tbs filted water
Method: 1 - Blend all chocolate mud cake ingredients in food processor until very smooth and creamy. The longer you pulse the smoother it gets. Stop every now and then to scrape down sides then pour over base.
2 - Freeze overnight. When ready to serve, remove from cake tin & melt raw vegan chocolate and drizzle over the top! ( I used Loving Earths raw vegan salted caramel and plain chocolate!
