White Chocolate Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tort
That’s raw? You bet it is. In fact it is one of my all time favorite raw dessert recipes and today we are taking a trip down memory lane and revisiting it! It’s all because my book, Rawmazing: Over 130 Simple Raw Recipes for Radiant Health
The inspiration for this torte came from one of the old Pillsbury Pamphlet Cookbooks. Do you remember those? Are they still making them? The cookbooks were always by the register at the grocery store. Reasonably priced, full of yummy (but certainly not good for you) recipes, they were irresistible at checkout.
One of my favorite recipes from those books called for white chocolate, dark chocolate and raspberries. All combined in the same dessert. How can you possibly go wrong? I had to create a raw version. It proved to be easier than I thought. This is a show stopper for company, but easy enough to make for a weekend dessert for your family. Don’t settle for a plain chocolate cake. Take it to the next level!
Don’t forget, this is a dessert and I always want to remind you that even though it is raw, and has many more nutrients in it than the original, it still is calorie dense and should be treated as a special indulgence.

If I didn’t prepare the cashews overnight, do you think I could use 2 cups of cashew butter instead?

I made this last week and it is GORGEOUS. So good, everyone was asking for seconds. The raspberries makes this so fresh tasting and the crust balances out the creaminess perfectly. Will be making it again and again.
