Tips for Serving and Storing these raw Carrot Cake bites
Keep the finished raw carrot cake bites in muffin cups in the freezer for at least an hour before taking the muffin pan out.
Once you pull the carrot cake bites out of the muffin pan, place them in a container or tray. Preferably not stacking on top of each other to prevent them from sticking to each other.
After freezing for a couple of hours, you could stack them to store them in the freezer to save space.
To serve:
Serve within 5– 10 minutes once you take these carrot cake bites out of the freezer because the raw carrot cake bites will soften quickly at room temperature.
Serve with some more shredded carrots and chopped walnuts.

Get the recipe:Raw Carrot Cake Bites with Coconut Cashew Cream
Yield: 12
Prep Time: 15 minutesmins
Total Time: 15 minutesmins
These Raw Carrot Cake Bites are made with cashews, sweetened by medjool dates, and topped with coconut butter. They are healthy and delicious.
Soak raw cashew and walnuts overnight in cold water with a pinch of salt. Drain and rinse before preparing these carrot cake bites
In a food processor pulse all the dry ingredients for carrot cake – nuts, coconut, spices together into uniformed crumb
Then add dates, 1/2 of the grated carrots, blend again into a gooey textured dough. If the batter still appears to be crumbly, add 2-3 tbsp of nut milk gradually until the desired consistency. Fold in the rest of the grated carrots.
Spray the muffin pan with some coconut oil or use a non-sticking silicon cup. Scoop the carrot cake batter out into a muffin pan. Then leave the pan in the freezer for an hour
To make the coconut cashew cream, combine and mix all the frosting ingredients in either by hand or using a food processor. If using raw cashews, I recommend blending using a high-speed food processor to ensure a silky smooth texture
Frost the Carrot Cake and garnish with a little fresh carrots and walnuts
Freeze for another 2 hours then pull the carrot cake bites out of the muffin cups. Enjoy!
Notes
Soaking nuts and seeds makes raw desserts come out fudgy and smooth.
You can substitute raw cashew with cashew butter which is more convenient and results in a smoother consistency.
