A raw dessert is a type of dessert that is made without cooking or baking any of the ingredients. These desserts typically use raw, unprocessed, and plant-based ingredients such as nuts, seeds, fruits, and natural sweeteners like dates or maple syrup. Raw desserts are often vegan, gluten-free, and considered healthier alternatives to traditional desserts due to their nutrient-dense ingredients and lack of refined sugars. Popular examples of raw desserts include raw cheesecakes, energy balls, and raw chocolate treats.
