​raw chocolate cakes


​Do you ever just get the urge to have something delicious, straight out of the freezer and raw?
​Well look no further! These delicious chocolate cakes are just what you need!
​This recipes takes a little longer to prep and set than my other recipes but let me tell you it's most certainly worth the wait!!  
​As its Valentine's Day I decided to make mine into little heart shapes using my heart moulds :)

​Ingredients

​Base
1/2 cup Oats
1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
​2 Tbsp. Maple Syrup
3 Tbsp. Almond Butter (I used Meridian)
2 Tbsp. Ground Almonds

​Chocolate Topping
1 Ripe Avocado
​2 Tbsp. Cacao Powder
3 Tbsp. Maple Syrup
Splash Almond Milk
​
Directions

​Base
​Mix the ground almonds and oats in a small mixing bowl
​Over a low heat warm the Almond Butter, Coconut Oil and Maple Syrup until nice and runny
​Pour the warmed and now runny mixture over your dry ingredients and combine until it makes a semi thick 'paste'
​Pop the mixture into the bottom of your cupcake moulds and smooth out. It should be around 1cm thick.
​Pop to one side while you make your topping.

Topping
​Pop all of the ingredients into a blender/mixer and mix together for around 2 minutes
​The mix should be slightly runny but stiff enough to be able to use a spoon to get it out.
​Grab your moulds back and spoon a good heaped teaspoons worth over each 'base'
​Smooth over the top.

​At this point if you would like to add any toppings to them then feel free! I went for cacao nibs and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut too :)

​Pop them in a tray and put in the freezer for around 3 hours.
​Once completely frozen take them out of the freezer and out of the moulds and enjoy!
​
​These can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 4 weeks and are very handy if you suddenly get that chocolate craving!

I hope you guys enjoy and as always- let me know if you make them!!
