Raw Aniseed Cookies

Raw Aniseed Cookies
4 Ingredients, made in 20 minutes and they're delicious (and healthy!). As a matter of fact, the flavours keep developing and as you can easily keep them for days, they taste nicer and nicer every day! You don't have to make cookies out of this recipe, you can just roll balls, but I felt like giving these a nice shape, and to make them slightly firmer I dehydrated them 🙂 Makes about 14 cookies, depending on their size, of course.

Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Butter

Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Butter
Nutella? I don't think so! This is SO much better, and SO much healthier than the processed and sugar laden stuff we are offered in the supermarkets. This is the real deal, and the best thing is that you can make it to your liking. If you want it creamier, add a little bit more coconut solids (or even the milk), or if you want it sweeter you can add a date. Hell, if you want it more chocolatey then add more cacao powder 🙂
Cuisine: vegan, raw
Recipe type: sandwich spread
Prep time: 
Total time: 
You need
  • 2 cups of hazelnuts (mine were activated)
  • the coconut solids that float at the top of a can of light coconut milk (if it's warm weather, put the can in the fridge for a few hours)
  • 5 tbsp of coconut milk
  • 3 dates
  • 2 tbsp raw cacao powder
To do
  1. (if you have a high powered blender, you can use that, if not, use your food processor but it will take longer to get the nuts to a paste. I used a good blender). - add the hazelnuts to your blender, and let it run till it is a paste
  2. add all the rest of the ingredients
  3. run till nice and smooth, and add more coconut milk if you prefer it thinner, also, add a date if not sweet enough for your liking
  4. Use on toast, or dilute a little more with coconut milk to use as a dip for fruit, or use as a base for a drink.
