Living Rawesome Day #294 Chocolate Basil Wafers pg. 36 entertaining in the raw
May 13, 2010
Well, I didn’t get coconut oil like I was supposed to, but I had everything I needed to make these delicious basil wafers. I used my new plant that my sister gave me for Mother’s Day. It’s called Cinnamon Basil, I think it goes perfectly with these. The basil gave it a hint of cinnamon too. I was surprised with the flavor of these. They have a very unique flavor. I never realized that basil and chocolate would go this well together. I can’t wait to try them when they are dehydrated. This paste was thicker than I would’ve liked it to be. I am never able to make the cashews turn into a dry powder. It is often clumpy, and moist. So the consistency is very pasty. But I was able to spread them on the teflex sheet.
Wafers Ingredients
cashew flour
oat flour
sea salt
water
maple syrup
cocoa powder
basil leaves
vanilla extract
Mix flours and sea salt in a medium-size bowl. Blend the remaining ingredients in Vita-mix until smooth. Add to flour mixture and mix well with hands. Spread very thin long rectangles on Teflex Sheets and dehydrate 6 hours. Turn onto screens and dehydrate until crisp, another 8-12 hours.
My goal for tomorrow is to get all supplies for my class and GET COCONUT OIL!
