What you'll need:

2. blend for about 2 minutes more until smooth and slightly whipped, scraping sides as needed

Raw Caramel Banana Mini Cheezcake Cupcakes

This babies can be enjoyed straight out of your freezer. And by can I mean have to be, because there is a 30% chance they are already melting.

What you'll need:

(makes about 30)

Crust

3/4 C raw hazelnuts

1/2 C raw walnuts

1/4 C raw sunflower seeds

4 dates

1/2 t pink salt

Cheezcake

1/2 C raw cashews soaked overnight and drained

1/4 C Cashew Sour Cream

1 C butternut squash, pureed

1/2 a zucchini, peeled and seeded

4 T agave

3 dates

2 T nootch

1 T lemon juice

2 T vanilla 

2 T coconut oil

3 T top coconut milk

1 banana

1. process all crust ingredients for about 2-3 minutes, scraping down sides when needed, until smooth and clumped together
2. scoop a teaspoon worth into the bottom of your cupcake cups (I use mini parchment ones, they don't stick at all) in a cupcake tray
3. press firmly and smoothly into the bottom
4. freeze the crusts while you prepare the cake
5. process the drained cashews until smooth and clumping together
6. add remaining ingredients and process until really really smooth (takes about 6-10 minutes in my food processor)
7. scoop on top of the frozen crusts to fill up the cups
8. eat the rest with a spoon
9. freeze for at least half an hour

Easy Lemon Coconut Squares

Ingredients:
2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tbsp of coconut nectar
4 dates (I use mozafati)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp raw cocoa (optional)

Steps:
1) Place all of the ingredients into your food processor and blend the heck out of it. It should appear creamy when done.
2) Press the mixture down tightly into a parchment lined pan or baking dish 
4) Place in the freezer for about an hour.
3) Remove the pan from the freezer once they have hardened, cut, sprinkle with raw cocoa, slice and enjoy!
