Key Lime Nicecream Cake (nut-free)

Remember to check out my Instagram @thekellydiet for more healthy recipes like my last post- ‘Butternut Squash Beetroot Soup.’

You are going to love this Nicecream Cake. Most vegan no-bake cakes contains cups of nuts. I am all about healthy fats but I don’t need a cake loaded with nuts & seeds.

So, I tried something different. Instead of nuts for the filling I used steamed cauliflower 🙂 Sound gross? It’s blended with fruits & lemon (or lime) juice that masks the cauliflower completely.

For the crust I used Heritage Flakes cereal instead of nuts. It is a high protein & fiber cereal with little sugar & fat.  I was in love with how the taste of this crust turned out.

Think of this nicecream cake as your morning smoothie but way better 🙂

Now let me show you how to go from all these healthy ingredients…

to a delicious nicecream cake!
