Raw Berry Slices

Another raw vegan recipe for a delicous Valentine’s dessert is here! You will love this one because you only need a blender. It will do all the hard work for you! Raw berry slices are ready in 20 minutes!

Of course, you need to let this dessert chill. At least for 1 hour.

I love combination of different berries. Especially raspberries and blueberries! They taste just perfect together! And now, in the middle of the Australian summer (sorry, my fellow American friends) berries are almonst always on sale!

If you follow my blog for some time, you have probably noticed that I post MANY raw dessert recipes. That’s because I love them. Making raw recipes mean less cleaning and less time spending in a kitchen. Don’t you believe me? Try it for yourself!

Did you miss the recipes for raw dessert? Here are a few of them:

Unfortunately, most of my raw vegan recipes for desserts are not suitable for people with nut allergies. That’s because for making crust I usually use some sort of nuts. The nuts I use the most are raw almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, and walnuts.

For filling, I almost always use cashews. They have such a great consistency for making cream and creamy fillings! Just think ahead and soak them overnight or boil them for at least 20 minutes!

Because I added dates to make the crust, you don’t have to add sugar or maple syrup. Dates are very sweet naturally and there’s no need to add anything else!

If you live somewhere where berries are expensive or hard to get, you can buy them frozen in bulk. This way berries are usually cheaper and last longer!
