acai tartlets filled with apricot cream for maroon 5 on halloween

These beautiful tartlets are made with Acai and filled with a blended apricot kream (vegan, raw food, dairy-free). I’ll be serving my raw food treats to Maroon 5 tonight in the Hollywood Hills at their annual Halloween Bash!

Apricot Pudding
makes about 1 cup (about 8-9 servings)

2/3 cup dry apricots
1/3 cup cashews
2/3 cup filtered water
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon pitted Medjool dates

Place everything in high-speed blender, blend smooth.

Acai Tartlets
makes 9 x 2 Tablespoon tartlet cups

1 1/2 cups cashews, measure first, then process into fine powder
2 Tablespoons Acai powder
pinch sea salt, to taste
1/3 cup pitted and packed Medjool dates
2 Tablespoons liquid cacao butter

Process cashews, salt, acai with dates, mix well. Add liquid butter and mix well.

Line small tartlet pans with plastic. Place 2 Tablespoons of mixture into tartlet pan, press firmly, leaving a cavity in center to hold the Apricot Kream. Place in freezer to firm up for at least 20 minutes or more.

To assemble, remove tartlets from freezer. Scoop 2 Tablespoons Apricot Kream into each tartlet cup. Sprinkle with cacao nibs (optional), and serve.

Chocolate Mylk Shake
makes 4 servings

This is my recipe for the raw food vegan Chocolate Mylk Shake I made for Andrew Zimmern on the LA episode of Bizarre Foods. Almonds are blended to make my dairy-free mylk. It’s sweetened with dates, spiced with vanilla bean and raw cacao powder, then kissed with coconut oil for extra richness.

Holy cow, you won’t believe this is dairy-free, cruelty-free, sugar-free, guilt-free, vegan, vegetarian, raw food, good for you and the planet. Live green.

1 cup almonds
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/2 vanilla bean, or 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract, alcohol free
2 tablespoons cacao powder
2 tablespoons coconut oil, liquid
3 cups water

Place all ingredients in your high speed blender, and blend until smooth.

lucuma ice cream

Lucuma Ice Cream (equipment needed: High Speed Blender)
Makes 2 cups

A rich creamy gelato-like ice cream popular in South America, this flavor is reminiscent of caramel. You don’t need an ice cream maker to enjoy this recipe. Just blend and freeze. Super fast and easy. As always, this recipe is gluten free, wheat free, sugar free, dairy free, and good for you!

btw, the “K” in kream isn’t a typo. I use “k”s for my vegan ‘k’reams.

1/2 cup LUCUMA POWDER
1 cup CASHEWS
1 Tablespoon VANILLA POWDER
1/4 cup YACON SYRUP
1 cup filtered water
