What kind of dessert is that
This is a raw, frozen cake, made of nice nutty crust and avocado banana filling. It is a classic raw cake that you can also make in a vegan version.
The combination of banana and avocado is incredibly tasty and with nice texture. Even people who are not normally huge fans of one of these fruits would enjoy this dessert.
The filling is quite smooth and nice, thanks to the avocado and the coconut oil. The bananas on the other hand, together with the vanilla extract, are refining the taste and even the texture.

Can you make this cake vegan
Yes, you can! You can substitute the honey with maple syrup or with agave syrup. You could also use stevia if you prefer.
Recipe summary
This cake is incredibly easy. All you need to do is to process separately the ingredients for the crust and for the filling in a food processor or a high power blender.
Then you need to freeze the cake for about 3-4 hours before serving it. The cake will be set but not hard frozen.
Storing
Keep the leftovers in the freezer, not in the fridge. Remove it from the freezer about 30 minutes before slicing and serving it.
This cake can stay in the freezer for up to 2 months.
But let's be clear: this is not an ice cream cake, it is a raw and slightly frozen cake. The important thing is to eat it when it is just set - not really frozen but not defrosted either. This state is reached after about 3-4 hours in the freezer or if it stays longer - after 30 minutes at room temperature.
You will surely enjoy the Raw Avocado Banana Cake, no matter if you are looking for a healthier diet or not. Needless to say, this is the perfect guilt-free dessert - delicious and also good for you!

Raw Avocado Banana Cake
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
For the crust:
- ½ cup / 50 g dried cranberries
- ½ cup / 50 g ground hazelnuts
- ⅓ cup / 50 g raisins
- 1 tbs liquid honey
- 3 tbs coconut oil, melted
For the filling:
- ⅓ cup / 110 g liquid honey
- 2 tbs/ 25 g coconut oil, melted
- 2 ripe avocados, medium, roughly chopped
- 2 bananas, medium, roughly chopped
- 2 tbs coconut flour, or almond meal
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
Crust:
- Line the bottom of a 17-20 cm (7-8 inch) spring form pan with a circle of baking paper.
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Process until a sticky ball is formed. Press the mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Leave it in the freezer until preparing the filling.
Filling:
- Wash well the bowl and the blades of the food processor before making the filling.
- Combine all ingredients in the food processor and puree until smooth.
- Pour the filling on top of the crust.
- Freeze the cake for at least 3-4 hours before serving.
Notes
- The coconut oil melts at a very low temperature so if it is hot in the kitchen, it might be completely liquid in the jar. In case it is not, melt it on a double boiler or in the microwave.
- Keep any leftovers in the freezer. When the cake is deeply frozen, let is stay for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
- For a completely vegan cake you can use maple syrup, stevia or agave syrup instead of honey.
