BRAZIL NUT AND FIG TORTE (RAW)

Steps:

• To make base: Blend base ingredients until there is a solid mass in the food processor (it should be very fine with the occasional chunk). Place on a plate and form into a cake shape.
• To make frosting: Blend frosting ingredients well. If the dates are very firm and resist blending, just blend partially and let soak about 15 minutes to soften. Blend until smooth and creamy, then frost the cake. Decorate with lemon zest, nuts, fresh berries or passionfruit pulp.

RAW DATE NUT TORTE

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine raisins and walnuts and blend until well blended and moist. (This will take a few minutes and you may see it forming a ball. Just make sure the raisins come out looking like a fudgy mixture and are not still grainy).
• In a food processor, combine dates and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
• Spread the frosting on top of the torte.
• Sprinkle on chopped walnuts (optional).
• May or may not refrigerate before serving. Firmer for cutting if refrigerated.
