Quick blog about tiramisu

Quick! I must share this quickly, it is so good it can't wait. I'm not a raw vegan but I like to make raw desserts. I don't always have the official raw version of ingredients but it's raw enough for me. If you have a good blender or food processor try this!


No bake, kinda raw tiramisu

Chocolate layer
1/2 cup dates, soaked in 1/2 cup water until soft. Include water when processing.
1 cup cashews, soaked 1-2 hours
3 tablespoon rum (optional, if left out double coffee and vanilla)
2 1/2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup or agave nectar
1 1/2 teaspoons coffee extract or espresso or instant coffee powder (for one serving)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch sea salt

Cream layer
1/2cup cashews, soaked 1-2 hours
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup or agave nectar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch sea salt
1 1/2 cup coconut (shedded or flaked)
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil

In a food processor, mix all ingredients for the chocolate layer until well incorporated and smooth. Place half of the mix in one layer in a small baking dish and keep the rest aside.

In a food processor, mix all ingredients for the cream layer until well incorporated and smooth. Pour half on top of chocolate layer and refrigerate until firm enough to spread the rest of the chocolate. Top with the rest of the cream and refrigerate again. When all is set dust with cocoa powder.

You can use the freezer to speed up setting times but this tastes better thawed, not frozen.
