Coconut Recipes
Adapted to be raw from a recipe I found from elanaspantry.com. It was mostly raw to begin with; actually a lot of her recipes seem to be that way. Anyway this recipe was so good I had to share it here!
Reminicent of an Almond Joy, these truffles are a great pick-me-up and they take only 15 min to make! Kids love to make (and eat) these too! They are great to pack in a lunch or for travelling.
Modified from hannah.hunnicutt’s recipe, “Patriotic Pops”. I looked at my family’s box of ‘real’ Bomb Pops in the freezer and decided to make some changes to the recipe as I was throwing it together. Turned out great!
This shake was so flavorful and refreshing. A great way to use up the raw ice cream I made (Heidi Ohlunder’s recipe). It’s easy to make too.
Electrolytes and intestional lubrication, what more could you ask for?
A deserving, delectable desert! I paired mine with chocolate-mint tea (water and chocolate mint leaves from my garden – you can brew it in the sun or serve warm). It would also be wonderful with a small glass of nutmilk or coconut water. This desert is very easy to make. Treat yourself to this fast and fabulous finger food!!! Also great for hot dates, makes a sexy sweet!
This is so easy you wouldn’t believe something this quick could taste SO good. I could probably make it with my hands tied behind my back… My Mom and I had a raw cacao couch party upstairs with this one! We couldn’t fit more than 2 chocolates each, they were that rich. I made MmMmMint Chocolate Truffles and MmMmMulberry Truffles for this one but the possibilities are ENDLESS once you have your chocolate base!!!
I created this recipe for Waterbaby12347 who wrote a post inquiring about either freezing or dehydrating cucumbers. When I saw the post my first thought was sorbet but I had never made this before… so I meditated over what would be good together and out came a beautiful refreshing coconut cucumber sorbet! I used herbs (lemon thyme and shiso!) to jazz it up.
A wonderful, fragrant sauce I created as a topping for a raw ‘mango with sticky rice’, based on jicama coconut rice. The ‘sticky rice’ part didn’t work, but this mango sauce really did.
Forget those horrible sugary concoctions. This one’s full of electrolytes & healthy stuff like potassium.
When deciding what flavor to explore with my young coconuts, a smooth, rich, creamy orange creamsicle was the first I could think of. I had no idea, however, it would turn out so good. It tastes just like a creamsicle from the Good Humor truck, but you’ll never believe it until you taste it! It looks just like it too. Also, you don’t need anything else to add to the coconut base because the orange balances out the coconut flavor.
PS I pictured this in a coconut bowl I made!
tahiti is an awesome place to be raw… i think its made for the raw life style. i drank fresh coconut water straight of the tree everyday, bliss! anyway, this recipe is adapted from something i remember reading on the blog that jinjie (of the garden diet) wrote…
