It’s almost Father’s Day! What is the dad in your life's favorite dessert? One of these simple raw desserts will surely satisfy his sweet tooth! If he likes creamy desserts, try the raw cheesecake or the raw banana cream pie. For simpler fare, whip up raw apple pie or raw carrot refrigerator cake. Whatever you decide to make, you can be sure it will be a big hit with the dad in your life!
And if dad isn't into "raw food"? Don't tell him! What he doesn't know won't hurt him :)
Raw Banana Cream Pie
You can’t beat this delicious and simple raw dessert. So very smooth and creamy, yet easy to make, this Raw Banana Cream Pie will impress your dad! (Everyone wants seconds of this one, so if serving for a large group you may want to double it.)
Cashews, coconut, dates, honey, and bananas (of course!) are the main ingredients in this delightful recipe.
Raw Cheesecake
Here is a simple raw dessert that even your non-raw dad will love! This rich and delicious Raw Cheesecake tastes just like the real thing, try it and see.
Macadamia nuts, dates, and cashews feature in this cheesecake. Yum!
Raw Apple Pie
Here is a great simple raw dessert for the dads who love Raw Apple Pie. While not a ‘fancy’ dessert, this raw apple pie is both flavourful and filling, and can be made up to a week before dad’s special day!
If my dad was here, I'd make him this one because he loves apple pie. Oh pop, wish I lived closer to you!
Raw Carrot Refrigerator Cake Recipe
Who doesn’t love carrot cake? This simple raw dessert surprisingly has the texture and taste of cooked carrot cake, and keeps well in the fridge for several days. It even has a creamy cashew-based icing to make it perfect.
Surprise your pop with this Raw Carrot Refrigerator Cake this Father's Day!
Raw Chocolate Mousse
If chocolate is more your dad's thing, then treat him to this smooth and creamy Raw Chocolate Mousse. It's so easy - you just need your food processor.
Avocado is the secret ingredient, along with banana and cacao. Soooo good!
Hmm, which one to make?
Can't decide? Remember, you can always make more than one dessert! In fact, you can find more desserts in the raw recipes index. So what will you be making for dad this Father’s Day?

Your desserts look yummy. I tried your cheese cake, made a few changes and it was delicious! You are also very creative. I make desserts very similar to yours. Nice to have a newcomer like yourself in the raw food community. Peace.

Hi Thrifty! In most recipes you can use macadamia nuts or pine nuts instead of cashews. Not sure how the price compares though. Where I live (in Canada) pine nuts are crazy expensive!!!!! even more expensive than cashews :/
In some recipes, you can get away with skimping on cashews (using less than called for)

What can I substitute for cashews that I find in so many of your recipes? #1 Finding truly raw cashew is extremely difficult since they are harvested with a tool that is heated and they are still sold as raw [or so I was told] #2 they are too expensive for my budget. PS LOVE YOUR SITE. THANKS !!!!

Hello there Thrifty... I know this is an old post but I wanted to respond for future reference. I have been experimenting with hemp seed. Recently I have made a hemp seed pesto substituting hemp for the pine nuts. I now make hemp milk instead of almond milk. No soaking or straining. Today I experimented making a sweet hemp cream to take the place of sweet cashew cream.
It turned out great! I added to a cup of hemp 1 tsp. of non-alcohol vanilla flavor, a pinch of salt and 2 tbl. of maple syrup. A splash of hemp milk when needed... I think I can use to drizzle over morning fruits and using as an icing. The hemp can be strong and has a nutty flavor which is why I added the vanilla.
I have also used hemp as the base of my soups instead of cashews....
Enjoy!

Great ideas here! I love using hemp seeds because they're one of the healthiest sources of vegan protein, plus, they're super easy to incorporate into recipes because of their subtle flavor and texture.

I live in Canada as well! Where can I find raw cashews in the Vancouver area?

Hi Irene! I find cashews are really expensive locally. I buy in bulk from nuts.com - unsalted, unroasted cashew splits
