Vegan Avocado Chocolate Mousse Cake With Goji Berries

Ingredients:

Crust

1 cup walnuts
1 cup raisins

Cake

2 avocados
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
3 tablespoons cacao powder
2 tablespoons maca powder
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
3-4 tablespoons coconut nectar or date paste
Pinch of salt

Topping

1 tablespoon each of almond butter, cacao powder and coconut nectar
1/4 cup dried goji berries

Method:

To make the crust, pulse the walnuts into powder in a food processor, then add the raisins and process until it begins to stick together. Press into the bottom of a small spring form pan. Put in the fridge.
To make the cake, blend or process all the ingredients until smooth and thick. Spread evenly on your crust and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, make the chocolate sauce by stirring the almond butter, cacao powder and coconut nectar together until smooth. Drizzle over your cake and garnish with goji berries. Slice and enjoy!
