Hey guys! It's Rita here. How about this, two desserts in a row? Halloween is all about the sweet treats, and since we're super committed to honouring our blog calendar, there was no chance in hell we wouldn't celebrate this season. We'll take every chance we get to create festive desserts! The Roasted Almond & Salted Caramel "Cheesecake" we created for Easter last year is our most popular recipe ever and it's close to hitting half a million views. So why not start a tradition of creating a themed vegan cheesecake for every season?

If we're to be honest, Halloween is not that big in Portugal, at least not compared to the USA or the UK. Sure, there's parties at clubs and bars, but you won't see houses adorned with pumpkins, ghosts and mummies, and there won't be many groups of kids knocking on people's doors asking for treats. Oddly (and happily!) enough, our neighbourhood is an exception! All the kids from the block dress the part and terrorize the streets for the night. The morning after, we'll find toilet paper wrapped around every car and fence whose owners did not play along. We're thrilled for this, since we grew up watching Tim Burton's movies and wishing we could carve our own Jack O' Lanterns every year. Thanks for making October this fun, America!

We had a blast making this "cheesecake" and painting all the leaves for a DYI Halloween table decoration. To create the recipe, all we did was think of a delicious candy bar and try to reinvent it as a raw vegan concoction. This tastes just like Kinder Chocolate Eggs, thanks to the perfect mix between cacao butter and raw cacao powder. We coloured it with activated charcoal, to give it that otherworldly look. It's the perfect dessert for your Halloween themed party! Not only is it delicious, but the best part is that it's made from healthy ingredients and natural sweeteners (and a tiny bit of spook). Your guests will never know this is actually good for you. We hope you enjoy this everyone! Happy Halloween!!
