Dreaming of a chocolate tower layered with hazelnut fudge?

I have to admit..this is not even my recipe, It seems I'm not the only Raw Food mastermind in this household! My partner Nick has been loving nut butters lately and so this morning he got creative and made this AMAZING nut butter fudge chocolate slab..Thanks Nick! . (You can visit Nick at his website here) It tastes like nutella chocolate mixed with Reece's butter cups...I am sure , just like us you will be clawing at the freezer waiting for it to set!

Best thing is it's guilt free, sugar free and super healthy!!  This chocolate fudge has some pretty cool health benefits  just check out the ingredient list below:

I have one topic to address before you go and make this recipe and that is to answer the sweetening debate. i.e. Honey..Maple..or Agave.

Just Can't get enough of this raw foods pie!

YUM how insanely incredible does this raw foods recipe look? I have been on a real journey lately to cut out some of the slightly highly intolerant foods and still create amazing recipes. Both Nick and I have been finding that a few of our much loved ingredients like coconut oil and cashews have been contributing to random bouts of eczema and upset tummy's! Gosh you would think that going Raw and Vegan was enough wouldn't you?! I think when it comes down to it, you really have to listen to your own body - we are not all the same and there is no one true way or one true diet.

 Raw foods are very important as you all know because it's the only way to make sure you are getting the nutritional quality from your food and over cooking can destroy any of the good stuff and render it in a such a state that your body doesn't recognize it as food..what a mess! But when it comes to exactly which raw foods it's a process of elimination when you are picking your best diet.

The kiddies will LOVE these little beauties!

Can you guess the flavor??

Oh god...Is it a Berry Vanilla and Chocolate Cheesecake?

Or is it raspberry White chocolate and rich choc icing ???

Raw And Vegan Recipes taste so much better than conventional sugar laden baking crap! I made this one last night for a special order and Oh My God it is just so good i had to share it...check out the first pic I took while it was setting....I'm like a proud parent!

The first glimpse - Oh god it's heaven!

A serving of crunchy almond base followed by layers upon layers of the dreamiest creamiest caramel and then laced with the fresh zest of Ginger.
Ok we need some more pictures...you know you want them to!

 I think if ever there was a raw recipe that topped them all in my books it's a well made raw muesli recipe with a chocolate topping. These puppy's deserve a five start gold medal  when it comes to flavor, nutrition and ease of making!
When it comes to sourcing the ingredients it's still better than candy if you just get supermarket brought nuts, dried fruit,coconut and dates etc but If your really wanting to benefit from the nutritional power pack you need to go organic and raw. I go to my local organic certified farmers market or I stop by one of the health food stores that specials in organic food. Sometimes it means buying bulk or making a few recipes at a time to use all the ingredients while they are fresh ( no preservatives so they can go rancid or depleted more quickly) but it's worth it and I tell you my body really feels the difference in energy and digestibility from eating raw recipes from organic food and produce

Yum I could eat 100 of these!!!

Easy Raw Recipes are few and far between but this little beauty is going to have the mouths watering in less than a few minutes! Best to make the icing the night before so that when your ready to whip up this easy raw recipe then it will be ready in under 10 minutes!

You can swap up the ingredients i.e. the oils etc for different tastes, colors and textures. If you want to play it safe though just keep posted as I'll post a few more for you!

FREE EBOOK: Getting Ripped On A Plant Based Diet

Base
1 cup of dried apricots
1 cup of dates - pre soak for two hours then drain

1.5  cup of shredded coconut
3 tbsp coconut oil
 pinch of salt
1 tbsp honey ** agave if your vegan
1/4 cup of cacao powder

Roughly chop all dry fruit ingredients then place in to the blender with the remaining ingredients and pulse to form a rough and chunky mealy mixture. You want the cacao powder mixed in properly so that the mealy mixture looks chocolatey but it still needs to be a bit chunky. Now press in to individual tart tins- MAKING sure you press up the sides to form a base like below, this is really important as it stops the custard from squishing out everywhere. Now place the bases in the cooler for four hours minimum to set which prevents any softening from the custard happening

Custard
2 medium Avocados mashed - they need to be very ripe to be amazing

1/4 cup of cacao powder
1/4 cup of honey or Maple ** agave if your vegan
pinch of sea salt
1 tsp vanilla ** pure if possible or essence if your not fanatical
3 tbsp melted cacao butter 

Melt the cacao butter  and place aside. Blend all remaining ingredients until super smooth. Now add the cacao butter and continue to blend. Pour over each individual tart evenly and place in the cooler to firm up. Usually this process takes up to four or five hours. Keep in mind it's custard so it wont go hard!
