The Raw Vegan Advantage
Choosing raw vegan desserts goes beyond dietary preference. By avoiding heat and keeping ingredients close to their natural state, more nutrients are preserved. Enzymes, antioxidants, and essential vitamins remain intact, contributing to the body's overall vitality.
This lime raspberry slice features a wholesome blend of nuts, coconut, fresh fruit, and raw Mānuka honey. No refined sugars. No baking. Just real, nutrient-dense ingredients that support energy and well-being.
The Sweetness of Raw Mānuka Honey
When it comes to natural sweeteners, raw Mānuka honey is a favorite among wellness enthusiasts. Its complex flavor pairs beautifully with both lime and raspberry, and its health benefits elevate it far beyond traditional sweeteners.
Mānuka honey contains methylglyoxal (MGO), known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It also provides trace minerals and enzymes, making it a functional addition to this already nutrient-rich dessert. Since the recipe is raw, all of the honey's natural goodness remains intact.
For those who are mindful of blood sugar levels or simply avoiding refined sugar, Mānuka honey offers a balanced sweetness without the post-snack crash.
Coconut, Cashew, and Almond Perfection
A mix of coconut oil, cashews, and almonds gives this slice its signature texture. Cashews contribute to the ultra-smooth filling, especially when soaked, while almonds provide structure and crunch to the base. Coconut oil helps bind the ingredients and offers a subtle tropical undertone.
This trio creates a dessert that feels rich and satisfying without being overly heavy—perfect for anyone seeking a creamy, dairy-free alternative.
A Versatile Treat for Any Occasion
Whether it’s served at a backyard brunch, offered at a dinner party, or simply enjoyed solo with a cup of tea, this raw vegan slice fits effortlessly into any setting. It’s the kind of dessert that gets people talking—not just because of how good it tastes, but because of how good it makes them feel.

INGREDIENTS
Base:INSTRUCTIONS
Line a 15cm x 25cm slice tin with baking paper.
Begin by blitzing almonds in a food processor for 5 seconds. Keeping the motor running, add the dates one at a time. Once well combined and slightly sticky, press the mixture into the bottom of the slice tin. Sprinkle with broken raspberries and gently press into the base mixture. Place into the freezer while you make the second layer.
Combine all lime layer ingredients in your food processor and blend on high until a very smooth and creamy consistency is formed. You may need to pause processing to push mixture down the sides as you go. Pour on top of the base layer and gently spread evenly with a spatula then return to the freezer for 2 hours to set.
Once set, drain and rinse cashews, add all blackberry layer ingredients to your food processor and process on high speed until smooth and creamy. Spread over the lime layer and sprinkle with frozen raspberries and pistachios. Return to the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours to set.
Remove slice from the freezer 10-15 minutes before slicing.
