RAW NEAPOLITAN CAKE [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE]

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CRUST:

• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
• 100 grams chocolate protein bars (gluten-free, grain-free)
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour

FOR THE CHERRY LAYER:

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 tablespoon pomegranate powder (optional)
• 1 tablespoon coconut milk
• 4 frozen cherries
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour

FOR THE MIDDLE COCONUT LAYER:

• 2 tablespoons shredded coconut flakes
• 2 teaspoons liquid sweetener

FOR THE CHOCOLATE AVOCADO LAYER:

• 1 avocado
• 2 tablespoon cacao
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• Juice of 1/3 of a lemon
• 1 tablespoon coconut flakes

FOR THE TOPPINGS:

• .7 ounces dark chocolate
• 5 raspberries

PREPARATION

TO MAKE THE CRUST:

1. Place the bars (leave 1/4 of a bar aside for decoration) and the coconut flour in a food processor and blend until crumbs form.
2. In a small saucepan, heat up the coconut oil. Toss in the crust mixture and mix until it’s well combined and sticks together.
3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 6-inch silicone mould using your fingers or the back of a tablespoon. Set aside while you prepare the filling.

TO MAKE THE CHERRY LAYER:

1. Place all ingredients for the cherry layer into a blender and process until creamy and smooth.
2. Pour the cherry cream over the crust and spread it out evenly using a rubber spatula.

TO MAKE THE COCONUT LAYER:

1. Create the coconut layer by sprinkling the shredded coconut on top of the cream making sure it’s nicely thick along the borders as well. Drizzle some sweetener over the shredded coconut and place the cake in the freezer for 15 minutes to set before adding the next layer.

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE AVOCADO LAYER:

1. Mix all the ingredients in your blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Remove the pan from the freezer and gently pour this layer evenly over the cherry layer.
3. Place the cake in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 or 5 hours.

TO ASSEMBLE:

1. When the cake is already frozen, decorate it with some raspberries, melted chocolate, and pieces of chopped protein bar.
2. Store the cake in the freezer, and take it out 20 minutes before serving so it softens.
