Hungry Norie's Raw Nik-Naks 5 --- Raw vegan chocolate torte

Kabocha squash tart wasn't too bad, now, I wanted to eat a chocolate tart. I still remembered how beautiful the tart I had in Japan, my mission is to recreate the flavour and texture. Maybe one day, my raw nik nak skills will be improved and be able to create delicious cakes and tarts.

I was asking round people what desserts they were making for this Christmas, of course, Christmas pudding with brandy sauce and sherry trifle were the most popular ones. They are very traditional English desserts, I'd like to make a little bit different. So, I decided to make : vegan chocolate and chestnut tart with cashew cream, Tropical fruits "trifle". I never made them before, so, I'm not sure how they turn out, will let you know later.

Right, I was again, really hungry for sweet chocolaty things. When I saw cakes and tarts on someone's blogs (with photos of course), my urge to eat those desserts got stronger and stronger. So, I decided to make one. Raw Chocolate vegan tart.

I now love making them now, thanks to all people who do raw desserts, actually, I was inspired to start off. Great isn't it. ☺☺☺Of course, no sugar, no sweetener, no wheat, no gluten and no animal by products! H.E.A.L.T.H.L.Y!
