**Ingredients:**
**Crust Layer:**
- 1 cup sunflower seeds (120g)
- 1/2 cup shelled h**p seeds (40g)
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- 6 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
**Chocolate Layer:**
- 5 ounces dark vegan chocolate (150g)
- 1 cup oat cream (240ml)
- 1 tablespoon agar flakes
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
**Raspberry Layer:**
- 2 cups frozen raspberries (200g)
- 1/2 cup water (120ml)
- 1 cup oat cream (240ml)
- 3 tablespoons agar flakes
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
**Topping:**
- Fresh raspberries or other seasonal berries
- Chocolate shards
**Instructions:**
1. **Craft the Crust:**
In a food processor, pulse sunflower seeds until coarsely ground. Add h**p seeds, cacao powder, cinnamon, sea salt, and pitted dates. Blend until the mixture sticks together. Press firmly into a 6"" round cake tin and refrigerate to set.
2. **Create the Chocolate Layer:**
Finely chop dark chocolate. In a pot, bring oat cream and agar flakes to a boil, simmer until flakes dissolve. Stir in chocolate until melted, then add maple syrup. Pour over the crust and refrigerate until set (15-30 mins).
3. **Whip Up the Raspberry Layer:**
Simmer raspberries and water until broken down. Strain and measure 1 cup of liquid, returning it to the pot. Add oat cream, syrup, and agar. Boil and simmer until dissolved. Cool slightly and pour over the chocolate layer. Refrigerate until set (15-30 mins).
4. **Finish & Serve:**
Carefully remove from the tin, place on a cake stand, and decorate with fresh and seasonal berries, plus chocolate shards for a stunning finish.
**Notes:**
- Fresh raspberries can be used instead of frozen (about 2 cups or 250g).
- Swap oat cream for other vegan or coconut cream.
- For a richer crust, mix almonds with sunflower seeds.
**Cooking Time:** Approx. 1.5 hours (including chilling time)
Enjoy your Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Dream Bavarois β a heavenly, guilt-free dessert perfect for any occasion! ππ
