Ingredients 

Crust

  • 2 cups walnuts
  • ½ cup carob powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 cup dates pitted

Chocolate cream

  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 3 bananas ripe
  • ⅓ cup carob powder
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husks

Garnishing and filling

  • 1 ½ cups raspberries
  • 5 tbsp dark chocolate chips I used 85% cocoa

Instructions

  • Place the walnuts, sea salt, dates and carob powder in your food processor and blend well until you get a soft, sticky paste.
  • Divide the mixture in two and form two balls. Place the balls in the fridge.
  • Place the bananas, carob powder, psyllium husks and honey in your food processor and blend well until you get a smooth paste.
  • Line the cake form with plastic wrap. Put one crust ball in the form and spread it evenly. Tip: place a piece of plastic wrap over the crust and press and spread through it, so it won't stick to your fingers and you can spread it evenly much faster.
  • Spread some chocolate cream on top (6-7 tablespoons). Scatter the raspberries over it and press them gently into the cream.
  • Place the other dough ball on top and spread it carefully so you don't crush the raspberries. You can stretch it evenly between two sheets of plastic wrap first, then peel off the wrap and lay it over the raspberries - it's easier this way and you won't crush them.
  • Add the remaining chocolate cream and smooth the top.
  • Garnish with extra raspberries and dark chocolate flakes.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Keep the cake refrigerated and let it set for at least 2 hours before serving so the layers firm up. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a fully vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
