I think we can agree that chocolate is good, no? Like, real good. This delicious, no bake, raw vegan medicinal mushroom chocolate cake with avocado mousse frosting is secretly full of fresh, nourishing ingredients, easily whipped up in a regular food processor. It makes for a great snack, dessert, or even breakfast: full of nourishing fats that’ll help protect your cell membranes from ever-present electro smog and EMFs (true facts: Chinese medicine has long recognized the electrical nature of the body and sought ways to maintain its balance).

It’s life-giving food in its whole form, subtly sweet, deliciously decadent, nourishing, nutrient dense, and seriously chocolatey. Like, hello, three layers of it. What an excellent opportunity to sneak in your fave medicinal mushrooms and other goodies (just try to use organic or wildcrafted ingredients to get the most out of this, guys).

Ingredient notes for this insanely decadent no bake, raw vegan medicinal mushroom chocolate cake with avocado mousse frosting:

  • The only sweetener in this recipe is unrefined maple syrup, but I still prefer to use very little to avoid jitteriness and sugar crashes. You can increase the amount as much as you’d like, or totally replace it by blending in an equal amount of dates or even using gently melted, raw local honey stirred in at the end, if you prefer. I strategically added in Ceylon (true) cinnamon to help balance out blood sugar, in any case.
  • As an optional add-in, I chose to sneak in some lion’s mane mushroom that boasts potent brain, immunomodulating, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-ulcer, heart, gut and nervous system support, but you can swap it with any other tonic herb that you feel could support your needs. Go wild! (I will say that you certainly don’t need to be a CEO, biohacker, longevity enthusiast or athlete to enjoy this gentle, subtly powerful nootropic mushroom.) Click to find it here. Superfeast is another brand I wholeheartedly trust from across the globe.
  • When it comes to cacao/chocolate, I always go for raw cacao nibs/powder only. This whole form of cacao is what makes it breakfast worthy, nourishing, and it simply tastes the best.
  • I also sprinkled a herbal blend from The New New Age as a garnish along with some raw cacao nibs for a bit of a crunch factor. Check out those rose petals.

Obsessed. It’s 100% plant-based, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, paleo, and keto friendly if you omit the maple syrup!

Blend. Slice. Devour. Enjoy. x

Servings 4

Ingredients
  

Nutty base ingredients

  • 1.5 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin and/or sunflower seeds ideally activated
  • 1 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 3 Medjool dates
  • 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Chocolate filling ingredients

  • 1/2 cup filtered or spring water
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup cashews, soaked overnight or boiled for 10 min.
  • 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp raw cacao nibs
  • 1 cup Brazil nuts
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lion's mane optional
  • 1 tbsp coconut butter, gently melted
  • 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil, gently melted
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Chocolate avocado frosting ingredients

  • 3 ripe medium avocados
  • 5 tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup cacao butter, gently melted
  • 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil, gently melted
  • 1/2 cup filtered or spring water
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Ceylon (true) cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a loaf pan with unbleached parchment paper or prepare a plain rectangular glass container of your choice, and set aside. Make the nutty base. Blend all of the base ingredients using a food processor. Pulse until a crumbly, uniform powder forms. Pinch it with your fingers to ensure it'll stick together. Spread the crumble mixture onto the base of the loaf pan and press it down evenly to form a firm, sticky base. Pop the loaf pan into the freezer while you make the filling.
  • Make the chocolate filling. Boil the cashews if needed, then drain and cool. Gently melt the coconut butter and coconut oil into a paste by your preferred method (I like to do mine over the stove, double broiler style), then remove and let it cool. Combine all of the chocolate filling ingredients except for the melted coconut paste in the food processor. Reduce it into a smooth paste of an even, deliciously creamy consistency. Incorporate the melted coconut paste, and reduce the whole mixture again to a smooth paste.
  • Retrieve the loaf pan from the freezer. With a silicone spatula or spoon, spread all of the chocolate filling on top of the nutty crust base, evenly flattening it out on the top.
  • Make the frosting. Gently melt the cacao powder and coconut oil, then let it cool. Combine all ingredients in the food processor and reduce it to a paste of even consistency. Stop intermittently to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
  • Spread the avocado frosting on top of the cake, keeping it as chunky or flattened as you like. Sprinkle extra cacao powder, cacao nibs or your favourite herbal blend as a garnish. YUM!

Notes

  • Definitely keep this one in the fridge or freezer, as it holds quite a bit of moisture. Keeps in the freezer for 2-3 months, or in the fridge for 7-10 days.
  • It’s so healthy that I like to eat mine straight out of the fridge for breakfast, it has the most amazing texture.
  • Use your favourite tonic herbs in place of the lion’s mane. Go wild!
  • You may have to blend the cacao filling for a few minutes to really get a creamy, even consistency.

i’ll be honest... trying to make liver pâté i’ll be honest... trying to make liver pâté appear tasty to industrialized palates is no easy feat. 🙈 

but look, if you are to create the new reality you seek and turn what is into a portal of deep transformation, you might want to look into the crazy amounts of nutrients in pasture raised, grass fed/finished beef liver to help, and maybe even add it into other dishes.

food can help us heal if we allow it to change us from within 🔥🌱 and when jazzed up with herbs and nutmeg, makes it all the more delicious.

full recipe on the blog!
