Raw Vegan Strawberry Shortcake

Today I cracked open a can of coconut milk to use in a coconut macaroon recipe and to my surprise and delight half of the can was full of beautiful thick cream. I say surprised because none of the coconut milk that I have ever bought has had such beautiful cream. Anyway, when I saw this goodness I immediately scooped it out to make some whipped cream (which I have tried and failed at many times before). I then decided to use the cream to make this amazing recipe:


Serves 4

Ingredients (Crust):

-1/2 cup dates, soaked
-1/4 cup walnuts
-1/2 cup coconut 
-2 tbs water

Ingredients (Filling):

-6 strawberries, sliced

Ingredients (Whipped Cream):

-Cream from 1 can of full fat coconut milk
-1 tbs maple syrup

Directions (Crust):

-Mix everything together in a food processor until it forms a sticky doughy mixture


Directions (Filling):

-Place the sliced strawberries on top of the crust

Directions (Whipped Cream):

-Place the maple syrup and coconut cream into a mixer and mix until light and frothy

Enjoy!

Do you want to be energized? Do you want to fuel your body with rich and nutrient dense foods that your body loves? Yes? So do I! I've created this blog to document the different recipes I've created as well as share with you a peek into a Vegan lifestyle and the benefits that come with it. I started on the Vegan diet in October of 2012 and my life was immediately transformed! Before I started on the diet I was often very tired and consistently got sick every month. As soon as I changed my diet I became energized, stopped getting sick, and felt great! I want you to be able to experience the transformation that I felt or even just enjoy incorporating these nutrient rich foods into you normal diet.
