For 12 people
- 1 cupraw cashews (soaked overnight and drained)
- 0.5 cupcoconut cream (from one 13.5-ounce can full-fat coconut milk)
- 2 tbspmaple syrup
- 3 tbspmelted coconut oil
- 1 tspvanilla extract
- 2 tsplemon juice
- 0.13 tspsalt
- 3 tbspwhite rice flour
- 3 tbspbrown rice flour
- 0.33 cuptapioca starch
- 0.33 cupcoconut sugar
- 2 tbspunsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2+ 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tspbaking powder
- 1/2+ 1/8 tsp xanthan gum
- 9 tbspunsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbspmelted coconut oil ((or other neutral oil))
- 2 tbspmaple syrup
- 1 tbspapplesauce
- 395 gdark chocolate (for dipping, preferable 70%+)
- 0.25 cupcocoa butter (optional, makes a thinner coating)
Steps
- 1
Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds or until you get a very smooth consistency. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic film to touch, and place in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours. You can speed up the process by placing the cream in the freezer. The cream will thicken as it cools. I usually make the cream the day before and let it harden in the refrigerator overnight.
- 2
Preheat oven to 175°C (180°C). Lightly grease a 10x15-inch baking sheet and line with parchment paper.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white rice flour, brown rice flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
- 4
Stir in the almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and applesauce. Whisk until smooth and well combined. The batter should have the consistency of a pancake batter.
- 5
Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread it as evenly as possible using a spatula. This step is important to get the same thickness everywhere.
- 6
Bake for 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a clean damp towel. This will keep it from drying.
- 7
Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 12 squares.
- 8
One at a time, spread a cake square with a thin layer of vanilla cashew cream (about 2 tbsp). Don't add too much, or you will have trouble rolling the cake. Carefully roll up the cake to form a tight roll. Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet and place them in the refrigerator while you melt the chocolate.
- 9
Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly. If you want, you can melt it with the cocoa butter, it will yield a thinner coating.
- 10
Using a fork, dip each cake roll into the melted chocolate, starting with the ends and then the tops and bottoms. Shake to let excess chocolate drip into the bowl. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat with the remaining rolls. Let them cool completely before placing them in the refrigerator.

Ho Hos will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. I like to wrap each one individually and have them as a decadent chocolate snack.
