Happy New Year! Did you make a resolution? I had figured out one of my resolutions in the middle of December. I wanted to eat raw foods for all of Jan. But then I realized that I'll be visiting New Orleans in January, so I was a little behooved since I knew I'd be enjoying the traditional NOLA food (which is far from raw).
But then I realized that I could view every day as the start of a new year! Thus, on Dec 26, I started eating my raw foods diet and have been on it every day since (minus one dinner.)
It's been so helpful within the past couple of cold days to be eating raw foods. My skin usually gets really dry in the winter, but if I eat my raw foods diet of mainly greens, nuts, and fruits, my skin has no problem (even in this 5 degree weather). Yay!
A couple of months ago I discovered a wonderful raw food blog: This Rawesome Vegan Life. You guys should check it out. It contains tons of beautiful food and photography.
Chocolate Mousse Tarts with Cashew Cream (adapted from This Rawesome Vegan Life)Crust: (Erika's Extras: I would double this and put in a springform pan.)
3/4 cup oats, buckwheat groats or nuts
3/4 cup raisins
1 heaping tablespoon
cacao powder
1 tablespoon of raw honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
(optional)
Lemon cashew cream:
1 cup soaked cashews
Juice from 1 lemon
1/4 of a banana, sliced
pinch of Himalayan
pink salt
Chocolate mousse: (Erika's Extras: I would double this as well.):
1 avocado
1 cup dates
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
1-2 tablespoons cacao
powder
1/2 cup water, more or
less as needed
1 tablespoon melted
coconut oil
To make the crust: pulse the oats, buckwheat groats or nuts
in a food processor until they turn into crumbs. Add the rest of the ingredients
and pulse until it all sticks together. Press into two lined tart tins and put
in the fridge.
To make the cashew cream: blend all the ingredients until
smooth. Set in the fridge.
To make the mousse: blend all the ingredients until smooth.
Spread into the bottom of your tart crusts and cover with the cashew cream. Put
back in the fridge overnight or for at least a couple hours. Dust with cacao
and serve!
Erika's Extras: Make sure you have soaked cashews (which takes a couple of hours) before you start assembling. Recipe takes about 20 minutes to make and then a couple of hours to set.
Bake well and prosper!
I've always wanted to try making one of these raw deserts. I've made date "truffles" before, and they were pretty decent, but this tart looks much more "dessert-y" than that. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the raw food resolution.
