It is the longest day of the year.The equilibrium of light and darkness, day and night, longs for a special live celebration: for our raw food cake we choose berries and fruits with the most juicy bright colors and exotic energy; and bedded them into three different layers of light fluffy young coconut cream.
For the crust:
- 1 cup DIVINE ORGANICS Almond flour
- 1/2 cup sprouted and dehydrated ground Quinoa (or Buckwheat)
- 1/2 cup DIVINE ORGANICS Shredded Coconut
- Pinch of ROYAL HIMALAYAN Pink Salt
- 1 TSP of shredded frozen Lemon
- 1 ripe Banana, mashed
- 1 TBSP DIVINE ORGANICS light Agave Nectar (optional)
- 2 TBSP DIVINE ORGANICS melted Cacao Butter
Combine all ingredients in a bowl (I like to do it by hand) and layer the bottom of a 9 inch pie mold.
For the filling:
(Young Coconut Meat is a delicious and light plant-strong Protein)
- 2 cups (16 oz) soft meat of Young Coconut
- 2 cups Coconut Water
- 3-4 TBSP DIVINE ORGANICS soft Coconut Blossom Sugar
- Pinch of ROYAL HIMALAYAN Pink Salt
- Pinch of DIVINE ORGANICS ground Vanilla
- 2 TSP of shredded frozen Lemon
- 1/3 cup DIVINE ORGANICS Irish Moss Paste*
- 1/2 cup DIVINE ORGANICS melted Cacao Butter
In a Vitamix combine add all ingredients except Cacao Butter and blend creamy, taste if the sweetness is right for you, adjust if necessary. Add little by little the melted Cacao Butter while the Vitamix is running. Blend.
Our Summer Solstice fruits for the creams:
- 1 cup ripe Mango, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 1/2 cup Blueberries
- Sprinkle half of the Mango cubes on the crust, then pour 1/2 of the coconut cream over the crust.
- Sprinkle with more Mango and 1/2 of the Raspberries.
- Add the other 1/2 of the Raspberries to the coconut cream which is still in the Vitamix and blend it creamy. Pour 1/2 of the beautiful pink Raspberry cream over the cake ( i made a spiral).
- Then add the blueberries to the remaining cream in the Vitamix and blend thoroughly. The result is a delicious Blueberry Cream which bursts of live energy of antioxidants.
- Toss over the cake (i circled and filled the spaces between the fruits)
- If you have any remaining fruits, arrange them on top nicely.
- Let the cake settle in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight. (Don’t freeze, the fruits will get watery when you defrost)
Serving:
Remove the cake from the fridge and garnish with fruits (and maybe flowers) which represent a beautiful summer solstice, share with gratitude! (We garnished with Orange, Apricots, Cherries, Raspberries and Blueberries.)
