Living Rawesome Day #196 Marshmallow Whip and Vanilla Wafers pg. 100 entertaining in the raw
February 6, 2010
I COULDN’T GET ANY JICAMA! So I couldn’t finish my recipe from yesterday:(. I decided to make this lovely dessert for my family. While I was making it, Christian asked me to make the vanilla ice cream sundae that I made a few days ago. I told him to make it. I showed him how to melt the coconut oil and how to soak the cashews. He thought it would be ready right now, so he was kind of disappointed. I am sure he won’t be once he makes it.
This recipe looks so delicious. I love mint ice cream. It’s actually called panna cotta. According to Wikipedia, Panna cotta is “an Italian dessert made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar, mixing this with gelatin, and letting it cool until set. An Italian expression which literally means “cooked cream”, it generally refers to a creamy, set dessert from the Northern Italian region of Piemonte. It is eaten all over Italy where it is served with wild berries, caramel, chocolate sauce or fruit coulis.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panna_cotta). The photo in entertaining looks so decadent! Anyone who loves mint ice cream, I imagine, will love this. Everytime I see the photo, I want mine to turn out just as delicious looking. Most of the time the flavor makes up for the appearance. I am working on it though!
Wafer Ingredients
3 cups fine cashew flour
1 3/4 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup maple syrup
4 t vanilla extract
4 vanilla beans , scraped
1 1/2 t sea salt
lemon juice
1/2 t cinnamon
I mixed all ingredients into a small bowl with a spoon. It blended extremely well, then I smoothed it on a Teflex sheet. I placed it in the dehydrator for 5 hours. I took it upon myself to try to put the lines where the cuts will be. After 5 hours the directions specify to cut the wafers then, so I am sure I will do it again. They smell delicious!
