This is a vegan dessert with no sugar or unhealthy ingredients. It contains various dried fruits and nuts and is really tasty!

Ingredients: 230gr grated macadamia nuts, 1 cup of grated pistachios, 1 tbsp grated pine nuts, ½ cup of grated cashew nuts. All nuts should be unroasted and unsalted. 20-25 grated dates, 4 figs chopped in small pieces, 1 orange zest, 200gr coconut oil (this time I used pureed coconut, which is more thick and easy to use), 3 oranges’ juice (the juices used depend on the coconut oil texture used; that is if you use coconut oil which is fluid, you will not need the juice of three oranges), 3 tbsp of bio cocoa(try to use biological), ½ tbsp of melted bio cocoa butter (try to use biological), 1 small cup espresso coffee (optional), 1 small espresso cup of brandy (optional), 1 tbsp of linseed. Also I used 1-2 tbsp of goji berries, 1-2 tbsp of raisins. The dried fruits and nuts used are totally your own choice. Dried cranberries are a very good option

In a deep bowl I put the grated macadamia nuts, pistachios, pine nuts and cashew nuts. Also, I add the orange zest, the cocoa and cocoa powder. Then my natural sweeteners: the dates and the figs. Little by little, I add the liquid or semi-liquid ingredients, like the coconut oil, the espresso cup, the brandy, the orange juice (again the juice depends on how liquid my mixture is. If it turns out too liquid, I don’t put juice of 3 oranges, but of 1). In the end I add the nuts of my preference, i.e. goji berries, raisins and linseed. You may add other seeds or dried fruits.

I place the mixture in (4-5 pieces of) greased proof paper in strips, roll up and put in freezer.

I cut slices or various 'rocky' shapes to serve.

This dessert is really tasty and also easy to store and serve. Whenever I want to eat or serve some, I take out of the freezer one strip and cut in pieces.

It is also rich in ‘good’ fats; that is why you may let yourselves enjoy it with less guilt – well, apart from the brandy shot!

Yuuuuumm!! My mouth is watering 😍😍😍

Sounds very delicious, and I'll bet that even @chbalk would approve of the ingredients!

I am not sharing any with banksters!!! Not my kind of people!! Haha

Bouaaaaa I want it, I like it, I imagine the taste.

I have tasted it and tastes as good as it looks. I strongly recommend it. :)

I'm not sure if we can trust @tikotiko not to slip in some sugar when we are not looking :-)

Trust me I trust her to be a trustworthy.... bankster...

I don't give out my trust on a fractional reserve basis :-)
I used to, a very long time ago, but I got driven out of the Temple (actually, I left voluntarily when I saw through the fraud).

No sugar, scout' s honor!!! The only sin is the brandy shot... 😇😇😇

This is a dessert... not like my "squeeze everything in a jar ".
:) I would love it. I will even quit banking to have some..

Nooooo...such a nice job!!!

If you don't have coconut oil, can you use anything else?

Did you buy it from the super market or a bio-products store?

Most big super markets have coconut oils. I went to a bio shop as the cocoa and cocoa butter are also bio...

Thanks, I'll see if I can find here!

THESE PICTURES ARE DANDY - and the #Dessert looks kinda like Candy!

I may alter a bit (I have some coconut oil already) - I know u say to use Pureed - but would NUTIVA COCONUT OIL (Organic "Buttery" Flavor) be fine in the #RECIPE ??

Thanks 4 yr Reply

Yes I have done it with coconut oil too. You will add less orange juice and perhaps a bit more grated nuts. Still the mixture will be more liquid but once you put it in the freezer it will stiffen..good luck!

THANKS A TON for replying - so will recall to add smaller amt of Juice (& more nuts ) ♥

τέλειο πρέπει να είναι,το θέλω στην επόμενη συνάντηση! :D

Είναι τελειο..απλα θελει ψυγειο..θα δω...

Πολυ καλη ιδεα!!!
