spiced no-bake cake rolls

Don’t let these little babies fool you.. They are so easy, come together quickly, and are such a cute little festive treat! I absolutely love spice cake and these are bursting with flavor!

For the frosting there's two options - First, buy a store-bought frosting that you love to make your life even easier I love the Simple Mills brand because the ingredients are great, but there are a ton of healthier options out on the market now! I’ll usually opt for their vanilla flavor. Secondly, you can make home-made cashew cream, which I absolutely LOVE. It doesn’t end up as firm as the frosting, but still great! I keep leftovers to use as frosting, icing, “cream cheese”, etc. So Good!

These are just the cutest treat! So easy and quick to make, no bake, and so fun for fall!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup protein powder or more flour
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, pinch of cloves 
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup almond or cashew butter
  • 6 large soaked dates (about 1/2 cup packed)
  • 1/4-1/3 cup plant milk
Cashew Cream
  • 1 cup soaked cashews
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp melted cacao butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. To make the cashew cream, add everything to a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed. This will make extra, so I store any leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge and use as frosting, "cream cheese", etc.
  2. To make the Swiss rolls, add all of the ingredients to a processor until the dough forms. Start with a 1/4 a cup of milk & add more as needed. You don’t want the dough to be wet but you want it to hold together. 
  3. Taste & add a little maple or coconut sugar if you like them sweeter!
  4. Roll the dough out into a rectangle on a lined cookie sheet about 1/2 an inch thick. Spread an even layer of frosting of choice over the top.
  5. Starting from a long end, use the paper to help roll the dough up tight. 
  6. Place in the freezer for 30ish minutes to harden up a bit (makes cutting easier). 
  7. Once firm, cut into slices & enjoy! Keep any leftovers in the freezer! You can let them thaw for a few minutes before consuming if you'd like!
