MINI PLUM TARTELETTES

OK, yes, I have recycled the raw chocolate cookie dough recipe yet again.  But can you blame me?  It's just too good. I wanted to show that you could make a fabulous fruit tartelette with it.  Next time maybe with some coconut cream. Yum!  Super simple and so delicious!

PLUM TARTELETTES

For the crust:
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw almonds
1 cup dates
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons raw agave or honey

Process the nuts in your food processor until finely chopped.  Add in the dates and process until the ingredients are mixed well and it starts to get moist from the dates.  Add in the cacao powder and agave or honey and process to combined.

Press into mini cupcake / muffin tray lined with mini cupcake liners.  Press dough firmly into the paper / tin firmly and refrigerate for 1 hour for freeze for 10-15 minutes. 


For the fruit topping:
Fresh  ripe plums sliced
Shredded coconut to sprinkle on top

After the tartelettes have chilled, top each crust with the plum slices and garnish with shredded coconut.  Now its ready to serve!

You can use many other fruits for the topping, such as strawberries and raspberries... The options are endless.

Enjoy!

RAW CHOCOLATE COOKIE DOUGH BITES

I love no cook simple raw desserts.  There's something so satisfying about them.  This is a recipe that literally could be tweaked so many different ways to give you many, many delicious treats.

I took my Raw Cranberry + Sweet Cacao Nibs Icebox Cookie dough recipe and just changed it up a bit.  It almost tasted like you are savoring some chocolate truffles or something.  I hope you love them just as much as I do.

RAW CHOCOALTE COOKIE DOUGH BITES

1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw almonds
1 cup dates
2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
2 tablespoons raw agave or honey
Shredded coconut for coating

Process the nuts in your food processor until finely chopped.  Add in the dates and process until the ingredients are mixed well and it starts to get moist from the dates.  Add in the cacao powder and agave or honey and process to combined.  Roll the dough into bite size rounds and roll the balls in a plate of coconut shavings to coat.  Chill for about 1 hour in an airtight container and they are ready to serve!  So simple!

You can get creative and use other delicious goodies to coat your cookie dough bites.  Yum!

Bon appetit!

CHOCOLATE ALMOND MILK ICE CREAM

 

 

My son's all time favorite dessert is simple chocolate ice cream.  I get so ecstatic anytime I can figure out a healthier verison to his favorite foods.  I love this recipe too because you don't need an ice cream maker to make it!  Love that!  I bought an ice cream maker this summer, but wanted to create a recipe that didn't require one.   This is also perfect for those of you that are looking for a dariy free ice cream.

 

I love hearing the words, "Mommy, can I have some of that home made ice cream we made?"   The fact that he helped me make it, makes him happy and excited to eat it.  This came out so delicious!  I hope you enjoy it too, my son sure did.

 

 

CHOCOLATE ALMOND MILK ICE CREAM

 

1 cup almond milk

2 frozen bananas (freeze in small pieces)

1 heaping tablespoon of raw cacao powder

1 tablespoon raw honey or agave

 

DIRECTIONS

 

Blend all of the ingredients together in a high speed blender.  The consistency should be thicker than a smoothie.   Pour the mixture into a small baking dish or other flat container and chill in the freezer for about 2 hours.

 

Take the ice cream out of the freezer and scoop.  Eat plain or top it with your favorite toppings.  My son loves it plain and simple, but I might top it with sweet cacao nips and berries.

 

Store the ice cream in a sealed or covered container in the freezer.  Once you have had in the freezer for a few hours, it may seem really hard.  Just leave it out a few minutes before serving and it will be soft enough to scoup.

 

Enjoy!
