Raw desserts are sweet treats made from unprocessed, natural ingredients that have not been heated above a certain temperature, typically around 118°F (48°C). These desserts often include nuts, seeds, fruits, and natural sweeteners like maple syrup or agave nectar. They are popular among those following a raw food diet or seeking healthier alternatives to traditional desserts. Common types of raw desserts include raw chocolate, energy balls, and raw cheesecakes. These treats are often rich in nutrients and can be made without refined sugars, dairy, or gluten, making them suitable for various dietary preferences, including vegan and gluten-free lifestyles.
