For the Raw Cinnamon Almond Crumble

• 1/2 cup raw almonds
• 1/2 cup pitted medjool dates
• 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Coconut Whipped Cream

Additional Ingredients

• 1/2 cup 5-minute vegan caramel sauce

Instructions

To Make the Raw Cinnamon Almond Crumble

1. Add the almonds, dates, oats, cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla extract to a food processor. Pulse 10 times and then process for 1-2 minutes until a crumbly, slightly-sticky mixture forms. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

To Make the Coconut Whipped Cream

1. Add the coconut cream, powdered sugar or stevia, and vanilla bean seeds to a medium mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer with whisk attachments and whip the coconut cream on high for 3-4 minutes until a thick whipped cream forms. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

To Assemble

1. In small bowls or jars, layer a mixture of the berries and top with the crumble, a dollop of coconut whipped cream, and a drizzle of the caramel sauce. Repeat once more and garnish with fresh berries on top.
2. Serve immediately.
