Raw Vegan Chocolate Caramel & Pecan Cake

If there's one downfall I have in life, it's my love of desserts. I love making them and love to eat them!! It doesn't help when I'm trying to eat healthy and still want more than a bowl of fruit and yoghurt. Don't get me wrong I love fruit and yoghurt, but sometimes it doesn't cut it.

Then on Sunday I had a friend over for dinner who has a million and one food allergies. I needed to avoid dairy and raising agents, whilst trying to make something that was healthy, so I didn't feel guilty eating it.

I came across a website with a variety of raw & vegan no bake cakes. I already had pecans in the cupboard, so decided to give the chocolate caramel and pecan cake a go.

I didn't have a right sized spring pan suggested in the recipe so used individual tartlet tins. The ingredients below was enough to make 3 cakes, so I made an extra portion of the recipe to make a 4th cake. I served with vanilla vegan ice-cream. The true test of how good the recipe was, was from my husband and he liked it (with the ice-cream).

Pear and Chocolate Crumble

I love to eat dessert, particularly fruity desserts and you can't beat a good crumble. This dessert is so easy to make and tastes so good, particularly with the added chocolate and nuts. I made this for a dinner party a few years ago and really impressed my guests. It's a nice touch to make them in small individual ramekins, so you can give each guest their own dish. I sourced this recipe from the Waitrose website.


Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
