This raw vegan cherry ripe slice is simply amazing. It tastes like cherry ripe but is vegan. I have tried this recipe many times and have finally managed to create the taste I was looking for. All the elements are the same, just the quantities that have been adjusted. Try this, it’s so delicious. A healthy snack that even my kids eat. You can freeze a batch of these and save for later. This is a no-bake treat.

Raw Vegan Cherry Ripe Slice
Makes about 30 squares (give or take)
Ingredients
Base
1/2 cup cashews
1 and 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/3 cup coconut cream
2 Tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
3 Tablespoons honey
1 Teaspoon vanilla essence
Cherry Layer
1 cup dried cranberries (Craisins)
1 cup shredded coconut
Chocolate Layer
1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
2 Tablespoons cacao powder
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
pinch of salt
What do I do now?
Base
Blitz the cashews in a food processor until they look like a rough crumb. Mix this together with the coconut, coconut cream, melted coconut oil and honey. Place this in a tray and pat down to form a thin layer (you can use a smaller tin and make the layers thicker if you prefer)
Cherry Layer
Blitz the cranberries and coconut in a food processor until thoroughly mixed. Sprinkle evenly on top of the base layer.
Chocolate Layer
Melt the coconut oil and maple syrup and add to the cacao powder. Pour over the other 2 layers and place in the fridge to set – it takes a couple of hours to set and will become soft pretty quickly if you leave it out of the fridge for a while.
Anything else I should know?
You can freeze these in batches for later. Experiment with the size of the layers depending on your preference. Enjoy!
