No Bake Sugar Free Vegan Chocolate Cake

A No Bake Sugar Free Vegan Chocolate Cake can be hard to find.

I like that this no bake cake can be made both vegan and sugar free.
 

No Bake Sugar Free Vegan Chocolate Cake

This is an easy dessert recipe that works for vegan folks, keto followers, and anyone who is watching their sugar intake.

However, if you are a fan of chocolate, like I am, this is simply a great recipe for you!

I should also mention that this is a three part recipe.

There is the crust, filling, and topping.
Feel free to omit any of these parts or use your favorite recipe instead.

 
Did you try my Three Ingredient Sugar Free 'Nutella" cake?

That recipe is for a cake made out of a homemade sugar free hazelnut spread recipe along with a couple of other ingredients.

This recipe is really a for more of a (decadent!) pie that is friendly to keto, paleo, sugar free, vegan and low carb diets.

This recipe is especially for anyone asking what desserts can vegans eat.

The quick answer is anything that does not come from animal byproducts.
Thankfully, there are plenty of yummy foods (ahhh...chocolate) that fall into that category.

You may also be wondering what does vegan dessert mean.

Well, we know that in sugar free desserts there is no added sugar (although, some folks are okay with sugar from maple syrup or fruit).
However, when it comes to vegan it usually means that there is no dairy (milk, butter, eggs, etc.) added to the recipe.

 

How to make a vegan and nut based crust.

I am offering two crust recipes depending on if you want to stick to vegan or sugar free.

This is a simple recipe that can be made in a food processor or using a strong blender. Feel free to use this crust or the crust of your choice in this recipe.

Here is what you will need to make the crust.

Nuts (I like pecans or walnuts) 1 ½ cups, unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tablespoons, and dates ½ cup pitted (about 8). Process these ingredients until you get a fine to crumb-like texture ( few minutes) and then press it into a round pie dish or springform pan. Freeze this while you work to allow it to firm up.
 

Here are some tips for making a sugar free vegan no bake cake.

I just mentioned how to make a vegan nut based pie crust using dates. If this is not for you (keto folks) I will show you how to make a sugar free no bake pie crust in a moment.

Here are some more helpful tips.

1. While this cake is decadent in its own, you could easily make it better by adding to it. The recipe offers a ganache topping however, you could easily add chopped nuts of even coconut to the top of your chocolate cake (or pie).
2. This cake will keep frozen for up to six months if properly stored. However, keep in mind that this can affect the texture of the cake. I suggest allowing it to sit at room temperature for twenty minutes or so before serving.
3. While this recipe can be made as a cake using a springform pan or a pie using a pie dish, you could make this into individual servings. Simply use a cupcake pan or ramekins to make your dessert in.
