Living Rawesome Day #188 Chocolate Anise Syrup and Walnut Soaking pg. 96 entertaining in the raw
January 29, 2010
I was flipping through the pages of entertaining, not knowing what to make and I came across this recipe. It sounds fantastic for the weekend. I know all of my family will love this. The walnuts have to be soaked first then I will prepare them tomorrow. Today, I worked on the syrup. I am wondering why the syrup is called anise syrup, because the only flavoring in it is hazelnut extract. It sounds delicious. I didn’t try any. So the walnuts will be made tomorrow, and Sunday the raspberry syrup and ice cream will be made.
Syrup Ingredients
1/2 cup plus 2 T raw agave
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 t vanilla extract
1/4 t sea salt
1 cup plus 2 T cocoa powder
3/4 t hazelnut extract
All ingredients were blended in the Vita-mix until smooth. MMMm I love the smell of coconut and chocolate:)
The weekend is here and I am trying to figure out how I am going to fit everything into my schedule like I want to. I have homework, exercise, bill paying, classes and work to do. I was going to go in tonight, but I decided against that unless Jason agrees to keeping the boys at Papa Johns. ???? Everything will work out just how it is supposed to.
