No-Bake Raw Vegan Carrot Cake Bites

April 1, 2018 by Margaret 1 Comment

No-Bake Raw Vegan Carrot Cake Bites | Gluten-Free & Soy-Free | The Plant Philosophy

I can assure you this is no joke – raw vegan carrot cake bites are a thing. Topped with a cashew cream cheese frosting and fresh nutmeg. The fastest way to cake-like bites without any baking required! Made in as little as 30 minutes, only requiring a food processor.

Completely refined sugar-free you can feel good sharing these with loved ones. A dessert/snack that’s pretty much perfect all year-round. Easily modifiable to set as an actual carrot cake if you use my raw crust as the base and double the recipe below for the filling. You’ll have extra frosting when making the bites, but the perfect amount if you’re making a raw cake.

I love to use carrot pulp leftover from juicing to make these. However shredded carrots work great too. A few other possible substitutions include walnuts in place of pecans and raisins in place of dates. The coconut coating is completely optional, but highly recommended. You can also use more pecans ground up to coat in if you’re not a fan of coconut.

You’ll notice there is a bit of oil in the frosting. I don’t usually call for oil in my recipes, but it’s vital for the right taste and texture. It also allows the frosting to firm up when chilled. You can of course omit it, but your frosting won’t set up as well so keep that in mind. You could also dunk each bite into the frosting and then roll in a coating of choice if you want to use up everything in one go.

Let me know if you give this recipe a try. I would love to hear what you think! Be sure to also snap a photo and tag me @PlantPhilosophy on Instagram using #PlantPhilosophy so I don’t miss seeing your post. I love to leave a comment and reshare my favorite recreations. Thank you very much for taking the time to follow along with my content and make my recipes!
