Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes!

Another raw dessert except this time i kind of decided to just wing it and see what i could come up with! These cupcakes have chocolate in the crust and raspberries/lemon juice in the filling! They turned out super yummy :)





Here's the recipe!

Crust:

2 cups walnuts
1 cup dates
1/4 cup cacao powder (raw chocolate powder)
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp vanilla
Pinch of sea salt

Blend up the dates in a food processor or Vitamix, then add in the walnuts and other ingredients. Blend until a smooth dough.

"Cheesecake" Filling:

2 cups cashews
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup raspberries
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup sweetener (honey, agave, dates)
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/2 tsp sea salt

Blend cashews in a food processor or Vitamix, then add in all other ingredients and blend until completely mixed and smooth.

Assembly:

Spread out the chocolate crust into a pan at about 1/4-1/2 an inch thick. Then spread the cheese filling over the crust. Put the cheesecake in the freezer to chill for a few hours, or overnight. When i make a big cake i line the pan with parchment paper so that i'm able to just take the cake right out of the pan once frozen, and cut into slices that way. If you're making them in cupcake molds you don't need to worry about this!
