Almonds add a satisfying crunch, while a touch of maple syrup and lemon juice balance the flavors beautifully.

Ingredients:

1 cup dates
150g
1/2 cup almonds
70g
2 cups cashew
270g
1 beet
80g
1/4 cup maple syrup
80g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
1 tbsp dried coconut meat
5g
2 tbsp water
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dates and Almonds:
- Place the dates in a bowl of warm water and soak them for about 10 minutes to soften.
- While the dates are soaking, place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely ground.
2. Make the Crust:
- Drain the dates and add them to the food processor with the ground almonds. Blend until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together when pressed. You might need to occasionally scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Press the almond-date mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined 6-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set it aside.
3. Prepare the Cashew Filling:
- Place the cashews in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until they start to form a smooth paste.
- Add the chopped beet, maple syrup, lemon juice, dried coconut meat, and water to the blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This might take a few minutes, and again, you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is well mixed.

4. Assembly:
- Pour the cashew and beet filling over the crust in the springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.

5. Chill:
- Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and set. For best results, you can leave it overnight.

6. Serve:
- Once set, remove the cake from the pan. You can carefully run a knife around the edges to help release it from the sides.
- Slice and serve. Optional: Garnish with additional dried coconut meat or fresh berries.

Tips:

- Soak the cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve a smoother texture in the cake.

- Use a high-quality food processor or blender to ensure all ingredients are well-blended and achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

- Press the crust mixture firmly into the cake pan to create a solid base for the filling.

- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to let it set properly.

- Garnish with extra dried coconut, chopped almonds, or fresh berries for an added touch of elegance.

With its vibrant color and nourishing ingredients, this raw vegan beet cashew cake is sure to impress both in taste and presentation. It's a perfect dessert for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special celebrations. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures, knowing that you are indulging in a wholesome treat.
