Raw Vegan Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake
from Crate N Plate

From Amanda (Crate N Plate), the author of this delicious raw vegan Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake recipe:

"This is a mini cheesecake. It’s great for those of us who don’t have many adventurous foodies in our lives. Mini cheesecakes equal more cheesecake for us but not too much cheesecake that it’s overwhelming. You could easily double this recipe if you’re serving a larger group though! Just make sure to invite me, please."

Healthy ingredients include almonds, cashews, oats, and apples.

Raw Yam Burgers & Daikon Fries
from This Rawsome Vegan Life

From Emily von Euw (This Rawsome Vegan Life), the author of this recipe:

"All that's in these burgers and fries is a whack load of vegetables and spices. Goes like this: throw stuff in the food processor, rub things with your hands, toss something in the dehydrator and you'll get a gourmet raw food meal in no time! (Okay, I may have simplified that process a little.) But seriously - it's pretty much that easy. Look at the colours of this food."

Raw Pumpkin Pie Tarts from Raw Manda

Raw Pumpkin Pie Tarts (Vegan) from RawManda

From Raw Manda:

The best thing about this pie is that the crust is really hard to mess up. You’d have to really try. I’m pointing out this awesome fact because that’s the part of pie making that seems to really get people flustered. This raw crust is not only extremely delicious with an amazing texture, but it’s also ten times better for you. So pass up on the stressful holiday baking and create something that’s enjoyable to make.

Indeed!  These delicious mini pumpkin pie tarts are perfect for Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season.  Best of all, they are healthy and nutritious - featuring ingredients that include white mulberries, dates, pecans, coconut butter, almond milk and traditional spices.

Raw Walnut Coffee Cake with a Brownie Base from One Green Planet

This sumptuous, raw vegan dessert features walnuts, hazelnuts, frozen bananas, dates, cacao powder and butter, flax seeds, and espresso shots.

Raw dessert making tip from recipe author Clemence Moulaert (The Vegan Cookie Fairy):  "raw cakes are beyond easy to make, but unless you organize yourself, it may take a long time to make. Remember that the art of raw baking/cake-making relies heavily on soaking nuts and dates and leaving the cake in the fridge for several hours to firm up. So measure out all your ingredients in advance, soak what needs to be soaked, freeze what needs to be frozen at least a day in advance, and you will save yourself heaps of time."
