Raw for Dessert

Thanks everyone for a wonderful and yummy class. The recipe's from last night's class @ Nutrition Smart were from Jennifer Cornbleet's "Raw for Dessert" book. I prepared the Banana Caramel Crumble pg.47 which was comprised of the Shortbread Crust pg. 32
1 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut, 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 tsp salt (pulse together in a food processor until crumb texture) then add 6 medjool dates and process until mixture starts to stick together. Press into small ramekins, or a larger vessel, reserving some for the top.
4-5 bananas sliced. Lay onto crumble, and press down to smash. Cover w/remaining crumble.
And top with Caramel Sauce pg. 25
1/2 cup raw cashew butter (I used almond last night) 1/2 cup raw agave or maple syrup (I used a combination of both, but heavier on the agave) 1/2 cup date paste (6-7 dates soaked 15-30 minutes in 3/4 cup of water and processed to a smooth paste) Blend all until smooth and pour over banana crumb mixture....YUMMY.
I will post the "really, one bowl brownie and chocolate ganache" recipe and add jen-ish dialogue later on today or tomorrow at latest...peace out!
