Date Nut Torte

I make this all the time. It is my favourite raw dessert. Each time I top it off with different fruit depending what I feel like. It can be strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, mangos, peaches, etc. Here is how to make it:

Date Nut Torte

For the base:
2 cups raisins
2 cups walnuts

In a food processor combine raisis and walnuts and blend until well blended and moist. It should come out like a fudgey mixture. Remove from processor and mold onto a plate in a round circle about 1 1/2 inches thick.

For the frosting;
1 cup dates, pitted and soaked
1/2 lemon, juiced

In a food processor, combine dates and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Spread the frosting on top of the torte. Decorate the top with any fruit you'd like.

Serve either in room temperature or after refrigerating for a few hours if you want a firmer texture that will be easier to slice. Enjoy!
