Living Rawesome Day #259 Cacao Crépes pg. 98 entertaining in the raw
April 8, 2010
I made cacao crépes today! Need I say more?? The scent is all through the house after a few hours of them dehydrating. We went on a few errands and we came home to the lovely smell of chocolate wafting through the house. My mouth was watering while making these, I really just wanted to try the dough. I miss my sugar:( but I know that my blood sugar is more stable eating like this, meaning avoiding fruits, bread and agave at this time. It just sets me up to crave sugar all day. I think these could be made with no agave, though. I followed the directions so I didn’t make them without it, but maybe I will.
I was so fortunate today, I was able to buy an entire box of young coconuts. My hubby was nice enough to open 6 of them while I napped. I was so tired, I haven’t been sleeping well. I think it is the change of my diet. So I napped for 2 hours, and then woke up and made the cacao crépes. I have about 6 cups of young coconut meat that I will be using to make the wraps for several recipes. I will store them and then use them as needed. I know they don’t last very long so I will be doing some elaborate recipes in the next few weeks. I am more excited today about the project. I just felt overwhelmed by how much I still have to do to try to complete both books. If I don’t in 365 days, I guess that is okay, I have made a recipe a day and sometimes more. I will not put pressure on myself. I am doing this as a fun project and I will continue it:).
Now on with the recipe….Please note**I cut this recipe into a quarter of the measurements.
Crépes Ingredients
1 cup flax meal
1 cup chopped apple
1/2 cup coconut meat
1/2 cacao powder
1 T lemon juice
2 cups water
1/2 T maple syrup
1 T agave
1 t salt
Blend all ingredients in a Vita-Mix. Spread thinly into 4-5 inch rounds on the dehydrator Teflex Sheets. It fits about 9 per tray. Dehydrate for 5 hours.
Mine are still in the dehydrator. I will post pics tomorrow.
Goodnight!
