Raw Food Forums

Ok - I have to let you know, in the quest for best dessert ever - I came pretty close.
It all started when my girlfriend went away, last week. Knowing she is not too keen on ice-cream I could finally experiment with the ice cream maker she got me for my birthday  - go figure!
So - three young coconuts - flesh and water
coconut oil - at least a cup of cacao powder - agave. Blended until really smooth.
I set this in the fridge and lo and behold it turned into an amazing chocolate mousse. I'm sure this is no great revelation.
Then, made standard choc - cacao butter, agave, cacao powder - vanilla and rose water! Put aside.
Then, made candied almonds - chopped almonds, soaked, then dipped in agave and cinnamon - dehydrated until done! Put aside.
Then, goji berries, orange juice, I think it was allspice or no - it was and a clove and nutmeg - and psyllium husks - to make a sauce.
Put the mousse in the ice cream maker - it didn't really go hard so I call it Choc Mousse-cream.
Spread a spoonful of the goji/orange sauce on a plate, two scoops of Mousse-cream, grated choc, sprinkle of lemon rind and some candied almonds.
Needless to say it went off a treat! Gave it to my sangha after meditation and they couldn't believe it! I eventually told them I had been raw for the last seven months and all those desserts they had enjoyed were also raw! They want me to organise a gourmet raw feast, which they will bank roll! I'm just so glad they enjoyed it - they haven't stopped going on about it in fact! So there you go...
ps - don't tell my girlfriend!

A simple solution / 'recipe' for all of those over-ripe bananas: peel, place in freeze-proof bag, freeze and viola; banana ice-cream!

Health, hugs and blessings to all,

Yeah... I give my daughter banana ice cream for breakfast and she thinks she's very lucky... I peel and freeze the bananas and blend in the food processor.  It really does taste awesome. 

JLK, sounds delicious.

I was in an Indian grocery shop the other day and saw Rose water (made with distilled water) and is used in food...may have to experiment with Rose water...
