Summary: Have you ever tried your hand at making your own (raw) chocolate ?
It is actually surprisingly easy to do. I share with you here a fool-proof recipe : start with roughly equal quantities of raw cacao butter and raw cacao powder, the sweetener of your choice. And when it comes to extras, nuts and seeds, dried fruits, edible flowers, food grade essential oils and food essences are all equally wonderful.
If you choose like myself not to sweeten the chocolate in this recipe, worry not, the dried fruits provide ample sweetness.

Summary: Raw Cheesecakes are perhaps the most popular Raw Vegan desserts, and with reason. They are amazingly delicious, really easy to make, and they are so much better for you than a traditional cheesecake. This Raw Vegan Mango And Passion Fruit Cheesecake is no exception : the mango flavoured crust is chewy yet crunchy, the mango cream is delicious and velvety smooth, and the passion fruit topping is tangy and adds a great crush when you bite into the seeds.

Summary: Raw vegan energy balls and bars are super easy to make, very versatile, and make great after dinner treats and midday or post workout snacks.
For a basic fail-proof recipe, simply use equal amounts of nuts or seeds and dried fruits, and add a little of as many flavourings as you desire : food-grade essential oils, super foods or spices.
These Spirulina, Cacao and Coconut energy balls are a great combination, as the sweetness of the dates, Brazil nuts and desiccated coconut perfectly balance the bitterness of the cacao nibs, and the relatively modest amount of spirulina beautifully blends in without being overpowering.
Do try them as an evening treat or as a mid-morning / mid-afternoon or post-workout snack.
Makes about 12 energy balls.
