Here, Halva Monster!
Carob Halva Monsters
3 Heaping tablespoons Tahini Paste
1 Tbsp Carob Powder
1 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder
1 Tbsp Liquid Sweetener
(I like Freedom syrup [made entirely from fruit] but agave or maple would be fine too)
Raisins or sultanas
~
Stir, stir, stir everything except the raisins/sultanas in a small bowl or a coffee mug until well mixed. Heap onto spoons and make smiles with the sultanas! Or you could just put them in with the rest and stir it up if you don't like smiling food. Whatever.
~
This is a small but rich and flavourful snack that will serve 2-3.

CHOCOLATE Brownie Dough
Mmmmm............
This is, IMO, even yummier than the cookie dough! Not super raw but it's still unprocessed and not so bad for ya!
1 Tin garbanzo beans/chickpeas
120 Ml/1/2 Cup Rolled Porridge Oats
120 Ml/1/2 C liquid Sweetener (maple syrup, agave, ect but I like Sweet Freedom's all-fruit syrup)
60 Ml/1/4 C Cocao or Cacao Powder
60 to 80 Ml/1/4 to 1/3 Cup Rice Milk
60 Ml/1/4 Cup GF flour
2 1/4 Tbsp Creamed Coconut
2 Tbsp Sunflour Spread (or virgin coconut oil)
1 Tbsp Corn Flour, or Gluten Substitute
1 Tbsp Ground Arrowroot
3/4 Tbsp Date Sugar
2 45g Packets of Free-from vegan chocolate buttons (or other dairy free chocolate)
1/8 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 a Vanilla Bean
5 Dates (dried & pitted)
Everything except the choccy buttons goes in the food processor @ high speed until well mixed. Add chocolate buttons and mix on low speed briefly-then take it all out, refridgerate a couple hours or freeze for 30 minutes. Enjoy the chocolatey goodness...

Pink Sauce
Cranberries and macadamia nuts. The perfect compliment to one another.
170g Dried Cranberries, or Craisins

Coconut Clouds
I call these "clouds" because they are light and fluffy-and sweet! This is one of my simplest, and tastiest, recipes, I think!
200g Desiccated Coconut
2-3 (to taste) Heaping Tablespoons Agave Nectar
3 teaspoons Virgin Coconut Oil
1 tsp Date Sugar
About 1/4 Tsp Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 Small pinch Salt (Optional)
Everything goes in the food processor at high speed. Leave blending until everything is thoroughly incorporated. Use a measuring spoon to make sweetie balls.

Ice Cream Fudge COOKIES
Yes. You read that correctly. Ice Cream Fudge Cookies. This is basically a spin off of my Double Chocolate Ice Cream With Fudge Sauce, but I think it tastes even better!
120 Ml (1/2 Cup) Corn Flour
120 Ml (1/2 Cup) Other flour---you can use ground oats if you like, but I used Dove's Gluten Free White Flour.
60 Ml (1/4 Cup) Cacao or cocoa Powder
1/2 Sun Dried Vanilla Bean pod (sub with a teaspoon or so vanilla extract if you like)
1 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder
2 Pinches of Date Sugar, optional
3-4 Dried, Pitted Dates
60 Ml (1/4 Cup) Rice milk (or oat milk, or breast milk, whatever)
3 Tbsp Maple Syrup
2 Tbsp Freedom Natural Sweetener (a syrup made from dates & grapes, you can sub maple syrup or agave if you like)
1/2 tsp Virgin Coconut Oil
OPTIONAL:
6 Pecans
A chunk or two of vegan chocolate
A swirl of peanut butter
Starting with the dry ingredients, blend together in a food processor. Now add the wet ingredients and blend. This will require a bit of stirring because the ice cream tends to clump together like a clay. When it is well mixed, heap it onto the counter and form a log. Roll it so that it has an ovular shape, and cut cookies from it. It should be firm enough to do this without freezing. Now, allow your cookies to freeze for about an hour. In the meantime, make a Raw Chocolate Fudge Sauce-this is optional but, I cannot recommend it enough. You can eat the cookies on their own with fudge spread over them, or you can sandwich them together, up to you. These are seriously chocolatey and yummy.

Black Forest Pudding
Here is a very simple, relatively easy dessert recipe for two.
2 Ripe Hass Avocadoes
200g dark Cherries
5 Tbsp Rice Milk (or other milk sub)
A handful of dates
3 Tbsp Agave Nectar (or maple syrup or honey)
2 Tbsp Cacao/cocoa Powder
1/4 Tbsp Virgin Coconut Oil
Everything except for 1/3 of the cherries goes in the blender at hi-speed. Now chop the remainder of the cherries and add them in! You may also add some vegan chocolate chips to this if you want more chunks, but that will change the sugar-free status of the meal. Enjoy!
