Living Rawesome Day #238 Almond Butter Cup pg. 136 everyday raw
March 20, 2010
Today was a success! The L.O.V.E. Food Prep Class is over for today and I am really exhausted. I didn’t sleep very long last night, I guess because I was excited. I had so much fun and I am looking forward to doing another class next month.
It is getting very difficult to pick recipes out for this project. Most recipes require me to do more shopping than I have been doing. I did almond butter cups because I LOVE almond butter and I had some of the almond butter left that I made the other day and I had cacao, agave and coconut oil.
Almond Butter Cup Ingredients
1 cup almond butter
1 1/2 cups agave
2 cups coconut oil, divided
1/2 T sea salt
1 cup cacao nibs
I halved the recipe. I didn’t have enough room in my refrigerator or the freezers to put all of the recipe. The recipe says to use the Vita-mix but I used the food processor. I figured it would work fine and it did. I know that when I have small amounts of ingredients it is hard to blend up in the Vita-mix and I didn’t want to waste any of this delicious mixture.
I know I said I didn’t want to eat agave anymore, but I couldn’t resist. I tried it and oh my, the almond butter tasted like caramel. I first put the chocolate mixture on parchment paper, let it freeze, then I poured the almond butter mixture on top. It is now in the freezer and I am waiting to put the top layer on.
This recipe goes with the banana almond butter cup ice cream.
I am going to bed, but before I do I am going to put the chocolate on top.
goodnight;-) I am so overtired, my eyes are burning.
