Raw Vegan Blueberry Cardamom Cake
Servings: 8-10
Crust:
1 cup walnuts
2/3 cup pitted, packed dates
Grind both ingredients together in a food processor.
Add 1 teaspoon of water if the mixture is too crumbly.
Press the crust into pans of choice. Set aside.
Filling:
3 cups blueberries
1 cup soaked macadamias
½ cup pinenuts
1/2 cup coconut nectar or agave
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cardamom or 5-8 drops of Organic Cardamom oil (start with less and add more, cardamom can be strong!)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons melted cacao butter
In a blender, combine all but the cacao butter, until completely smooth and creamy.
Add the butter and blend again to incorporate.
Pour the mixture over the crust(s)
Chill in the fridge or freezer until firm. Since the freezer means less chilling time, you may prefer it.
Garnish with blueberries, edible flowers, or any other garnish of your choice.
Slice and Enjoy!
