In reply to Anya. Thanks, Anya. Yes, I wouldn't call this dessert healthy due to the high amount of fat. Many people assume that a raw or vegan dessert is automatically healthy when it isn't necessarily the case at all. This dessert doesn't have a lot of added sugar and instead uses natural fruit sugars but it still should be treated as an indulgence.

In reply to Anna. Sorry to hear about that, Anna! One thing I'd ask is whether you used canned coconut milk or the coconut milk from a carton. The canned version is much thicker and firms up as it should. You can also pop the cake in the freezer to really get it to firm up. Hope these tips help.

I don’t know how you managed to make the ganache like the one in the picture🤷‍♀️ I followed your recipe and it was way too liquid. I hoped that it would get a bit firmer after refrigeration but it still had a consistency of a milkshake. I liked the filling though but the cake was still ruined.

Stephanie thank you for the recipe. Looks delicious🤤 I’m not sure it’s so healthy though, since it contains so much fat and cashews are not fermented.

In reply to Tony. Thanks for pointing that out, Tony! It's 1/2 a cup of dried dates. :-)

Hi there! Is ‘½ dried dates’ meant to be ½ a cup or half the overall weight, or maybe something else I haven’t yet considered 🙂
