Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups raw walnuts
- Dash Celtic Sea Salt
- 10 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/ 3 cup unsweetened cocoa (if you can't get raw, I like the organic Green & Blacks cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1/2 cup raspberries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the walnuts and salt in a food processor fitted with an S blade and process until finely ground. Add the dates, cocoa power, vanilla and water and process until the mixture begins to sick together.
- Transfer to a serving plate and form into a 5-inch round cake. Decorate the cake and plate with fresh raspberries before serving. Covered with plastic wrap, Flourless Chocolate Cake will keep for three days in the refrigerator or two weeks in the freezer. Bring to room temperature before serving.

You might be my new best friend…this sounds intriguing, so I’ll try. We loved the raw asparagus (I’d never eaten it raw) arugula salad you posted the other day.
Good comment. The bottom line: Stay away from bread or pasta that doesn’t say 100 percent whole grain.
I really like this recipe because of the lack of bleached flour. Your body quickly converts this carbohydrate to sugar in your bloodstream. Your brain likes the feel-good rush of the sugar and sends out the message, more, more, more! No need for that.
Exactly Jack. If you make it, let me know what you think.
Wonderful Celeste, where can I find here online Pam?
Hey Aaron. Celeste is a raw food friend of mine, but I’m not sure if she has a website. I’ll get back to you on that.
