Have you ever heard of dragon fruit? This beautiful fruit has a mild fresh taste that won't overshadow the maple and nutty tones of the cake crust. It will go perfectly over the vegan cheese filling and will give it a nice, smooth topping.

Prep Time 30 minutes

Difficulty Level: Low

Vegan Dragon Fruit Cake

Ingredients for bottom crust:

Walnuts - 1 cup

Dates - 1 1/4 cups

Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup

Salt - a pinch

Ingredients for cake:

Raw cashews - 2 cups (soaked overnight and rinsed)

Coconut cream - 3/4 cup

Coconut oil - 6 tbsp.

Maple syrup - 1/2 cup

Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp.

Lemon juice - from 1 lemon

Lemon zest - 1 tsp.

Ingredients for dragon fruit syrup:

Dragon fruit - 1 (peeled and chopped)

Raspberries - 1/2 cup (fresh or frozen)

Maple syrup - 1 cup

Method of preparing the cake:

Line or grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Pulse all crust ingredients in the food processor until you have a uniform, sticky dough. Press to the bottom of the pan and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Pulse all cake ingredients in the blender until you have a uniform cream. Pour over the cake crust, flatten with a spatula and chill in the fridge.
Heat all syrup ingredients in a small saucepan over medium flame. Stir for 2-3 minutes. Reduce to a low flame simmer and keep stirring for 5 minutes simmering.
When the fruits dissolve into a syrup remove from heat. Spread over the cake and chill for another 5 minutes in the fridge before serving.

Chef's Tip:

If you can't find dragon fruit, swap it for 1 cup raspberries.
