This seasonal icebox cake recipe is ideal for people who have dietary restrictions. Made by Julie of the Free People blog, the Raw Vegan Strawberry Coconut Icebox Cake requires no baking (so you don't have to worry about heating up the house in already uncomfortably warm weather).
This delicious dessert has a faux graham cracker crust made out of a variety of nuts plus pitted medjool dates and spices. The filling requires tasty ingredients such as raw cashews, strawberries, lime juice, vanilla extract, freshly grated ginger, coconut oil, coconut milk and sweetener. The cake is topped with more fresh strawberries as well as fried coconut. If you're making this at home, you'll also need parchment paper a food processor and a springform pan or pie plate.
