I get really excited when I make a raw dessert. Even though I have been making them for years, I still get amazed after each

Strawberry and rhubarb combinations always bring me back to a happy time in my childhood where I would help my Papa in his garden and then my Nana making jams and pies in the kitchen. My Nana made the best strawberry and rhubarb pie and jam I ever tasted. One bite of this fruit pairing brings me right back to this time and always puts a smile on my face.
I first discovered nut cheese while studying in at the Raw Foundation Culinary Arts & Nutrition Institute. Our first day we enjoyed a plate of “cheeses” with dehydrated raw vegetable crackers and I was completely hooked. I would have never guessed that it was not dairy, we had an array of soft and hard cheeses to sample and I loved everyone.
What is there not to love about Nice Cream? It is a rich, creamy, and dairy-free dessert you can whip up in minutes when you have a craving for something sweet. You don’t need to add sweetener if you don’t want too and the flavor combinations are endless. In it’s most simplest form, nice cream is frozen banana’s that are blended to make a type of soft serve.
To end your Cinco de Mayo dinner, you want a really delicious dessert to finish the evening off. As I was scrolling through the many pages of Mexican-inspired desserts I noticed that the food became less whole and fresh and quickly turns to cakes soaked in heavy cream, fried pastry and desserts, and a ton of refined sugars. Now these yummy treats to enjoy but if you want to finish your meal off with something a little lighter on the waistline and digestive track that does not leave you feeling bloated and yucky after, I created something to do the trick
