We love raw food, especially raw desserts. They are nutrient dense, entirely guilt free, absolutely delicious and simple to make, even for those that consider themselves culinary illiterates. Apart from the soft vanilla cream and the chewy caramel base, the cubic kiwi adds a zing that makes for such an impressive raw slice. The cake keeps well in the freezer, but be wary, if your family is anything like ours then it won’t last long!
