Living Rawesome Day #163 Ginger Date Flan pg. 124 entertaining in the raw
January 4, 2010
I loved this dessert so much I could hardly wait to write in my blog. This recipe came out perfect! Jason opened my coconut before work (yes I still don’t open those) he splits them down the middle so it is easy for me to remove the meat. I had a ton of running around to do today so I just made the recipe this evening. My plan is to freeze the flan and save them for the potluck this month. I was doubting that these ingredients would work together. For some reason, ginger, Irish moss and agave just didn’t sound appetizing to me, but they are divine:) This is a sweet dessert with a touch of ginger in it. My sesame brittle came out rather chewy, but still delicious. The presentation of the sesame brittle is rather repulsive, well, repulsive may be a bit too extreme but never the less I hid the brittle under the flan. I was not hungry until I tried this. After I tried it I couldn’t stop. I have never tried a dessert that has ginger. The closest thing I have had are ginger chews. I can’t wait for my hubby to get home to try it! He can only have one though (hee hee). I am going to have a smorgasbord this month at the potluck. I can’t wait!
Ginger Date Flan Ingredients
coconut meat
cashews
raw agave
minced ginger
Irish moss
dates (I had to use Himalayan Golden Raisins, but they are delicious and so chewy)
vanilla extract
nutmeg
I put the recipe into little cups to serve at the potluck. I wish I could make it look more beautiful, but the taste will win them over.
I am going to write a pamphlet for the raw food classes. I am talking to a lady tomorrow to possibly do the classes in a public building. I am so excited. Tomorrow can’t come quick enough. I will keep you posted! Goodnight everyone!
