Lately, I've been investigating the raw/vegan culture. It started because I was having heartburn almost everynight as I tried to fall asleep and knew it was because I was having white flour, of some variety, in my evening meal. So, I ventured out and inadvertently found a woman named Ani Phyo who creates simple and yummy raw/vegan dishes and desserts. I highly recommend that you check out her website if you're interested in learning more about what she can whip up in five minutes!
This is a tweaked version of one of her desserts.
Soak overnight (separately): 1 cup almonds and 1/2 cup raisins. In the morning, drain and put on cookie sheet to dry out for a few hours.
In a food processor, combine almonds and some cocoa powder- maybe 2-3 tablespoons (she recommends raw but I used regular cooking cocoa as you would for baking). Add a dash of salt if desired. Whir until nuts are small pieces. Add about 1/4 cup soft raisins and whir again. Keep adding raisins until the mixture is soft. Remove blade and roll small amounts of mixture into little balls. Put in freezer. Super Easy and pretty yummy- even to a chocoholic!
I'm going to try a few more changes to this recipe next time too. I'm going to add a bit of avacado for some smoothness and richness and then I'm going to roll the balls in coconut or chopped nuts before freezing.
