Raw desserts

We love making raw dessert, because they are really easy to prepare, take so little time to make and are really delicious! All you need to make them is a good blender and you’re good to go, you don’t even need to turn on the oven!

We usually soak all of the nuts and dates overnight before making raw desserts, because it makes them soft and they blend easier and get creamier.

The best way to get cake to set is to keep it in the fridge. Once you make a cream it’s really liquid but because of coconut oil that we use in the cream it hardens in the fridge and gives a cake delicious creamy texture. You can keep cake in the fridge for a few days and it will be as good as freshly made.
