Yum! These were delicious. Raw, gluten-free, and of course vegan! I have lots left in my freezer to take out and thaw when I feel like raw carrot cake. This was a Pinterest find if you want to check out the recipe. The Sweet Life’s Raw Carrot Bites look a lot harder and smoothly cut compared to mine, but that is because I was too impatient to let them freeze long enough and was a bit quick to try them. Didn’t matter though seeing as they tasted good!
Very happy that I tried the recipe, and hope you will, too. I have not had carrot cake in a long time, but this seemed so different to anything else I had made that I was quite curious. I always tend to go for the chocolate recipes ;). I am used to raw desserts which can be a bit different sometimes and would really love to know what others think. I debated about using half the cashew icing although it really doesn’t seem like too much. Please let me know if you make these or have already made them.
Do you have a favourite raw dessert recipe of your own or someone else’s that you often make?
Plus, a HUGE thank you to everyone who has voted for Arohanui Vegan Love in the Top 25 Vegan and Vegetarian Moms, especially if you have been committed to voting every day. We really do appreciate it. We were at #7 not long ago and are down by 2 again. Every vote counts as this is such a long competition. Hope I am not bothering anyone too much by continuing to mention it, but I would love to stay toward the top and have had a lot of people ask to be reminded every day. If you feel like sharing or tweeting as well that would be awesome, too. Thank you. We made some more yummy cookies and a silverbeet green smoothie if you want to check out our photos on Facebook.
Oh yum, just looked at the recipe & definitely going to try this…
Yay, so happy you tried them and liked them, Kerry 🙂
These look totally scrumptious! I just checked out the recipe. I would love to make them.
I have a few favorite raw desserts- a blueberry ‘cheesecake’, chocolate tarts, brownies, chocolate ‘ice cream’.
I am going to do a post on the brownies and tarts next week. I used to make raw chocolates, but I haven’t made any for a while.
These all sound so yummy, Ally! Yip, I tend to make a lot of raw brownies and “cheesecake”. Look forward to seeing what you put in your brownies.
looks very delicious and I look raw desserts… kind of taste unspoilt and pure 🙂
Thanks, Thom! Yip, raw desserts are yummy. Think I might need to start experimenting a bit more with some new recipes 🙂
Like! Like! LIke! This is now on my list of things to make! My favourite raw dessert to make is “Congo Bars (Raisin and Nut Fudge with Vanilla and Coconut” from Sarma Melngailis’ book “Living Raw Food”. It’s hard to believe that these bars are raw.
Thanks! Ooh, congo bars. These sound interesting and yummy! Think I remember something about these in the past, but have never made them. Might need to look into it 🙂
Oh I love carrots and this is a lovely way to eat more. I have a very similar recipe, but without the frosting which I think takes it to the next level of yummy. So thank you!
Yes, I think the frosting makes it yummy and much like a “typical” carrot cake 🙂 Hope you try it.
I’m still voting for ya 😉 These carrot cake treats look delicious…. carrot cake is one of my favourites – particularly when it is wholesome and healthful like this one!
Yay, thanks Lou. We managed to get you and Ally more votes on David’s phone :). Yes, I think I like this recipe because the base is healthy and is not overly nut based like some raw desserts.
Waw! What awesomely, tasty & appetizing raw & Gf carrot cake bites! Yummm! I voted everytime for you! 🙂 x
Thank you, Sophie 🙂 I took a piece out a couple days ago and let it sit out for a bit before eating, and it was still yummy! Yay, so happy that you keep voting. Would love to be in the Top 5 and looks like I am moving up there x
yeah! 🙂 That’s great news!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
