How to make these raw vegan desserts

Step 2. Roll dough into a rectangle on parchment paper, to about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3. All filling ingredients in the food processor, leaving out the pecans. Process until completely smooth.
Step 4. Spread the filling out over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch on the edges. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the filling.
Step 5. Roll into a log, using the parchment paper to roll the dough over the filling into a log. Twist the ends of the parchment paper to hold the dough into a tight roll. Put the log in the freezer for 30-45 minutes until it is firm.
