So here's the deliciousness that went down a few days ago. I believe this is my first blog post about raw vegan desserts. Really, I just got up to eat one mid blog- not kidding! Just that good! The perfect amount of sweet, they are super satisfying, healthy, oh right...and they're vegan, if you're into that sort of thing.
No official recipe, but here's what I did.
recipe makes about 50
- Made coconut butter - pulverised shredded unsweetened coconut in my Cuisinart (about 2.5 cups for about 10 minutes.
- Softened 1 cup of chopped, pitted dates in a 1/3 cup of hot water, heat until they started to fall apart.
- Add crunchy natural peanut butter (about 1/2 cup, 1 cup raw cocoa, 1/2 cup maple syrup, date paste, 1 tbs cinnamon, 2 tbs vanilla extract, 3 tbs coconut flower.
- Pulse everything together and check that they are able to hold the shape of a ball, they may or may not need more, coconut flower or moisture -- Sorry I'm sharing this after the first time, it was so wonderful I had to share it right away.
- Turn out in to a bowl and fold in a handful or two of shredded sweetened coconut.
- Chill mixture for an hour at least before balling and dust them in powdered sugar. You can do this days in advance or right before serving.
