Chocolate chip cookies med glass och chokladkross

En barnsligt god och kul dessert - och ett roligt sätt att servera glass! Baka sega och mumsiga chokladkakor (som även kan ätas bara som de är förstås) och servera dem i par, med din favoritglass emellan. Det är som uppgjort för succé!

Chocolate chip cookies med glass

8 kakor

Ingredienser

4 dl havremjöl

1 1/2 dl kokossocker

100 gram mörk choklad

1/2 tsk bakpulver

1/2 tsk äkta vaniljpulver

1 nypa salt

50 gram rapsolja

3/4 dl växtdryck

Fyllning

Glass - min favorit är Lily och Hannas rawfoodglass!

50 gram mörk choklad

Gör såhär

Värm ungen till 200°C.

Blanda alla torra ingredienser. Hacka chokladen och vänd ner. Tillsätt växtdryck och olja, rör om till en smet. Klicka ut så bollar på bakplåt.

Baka kakorna mitt i ugnen i 12 minuter. Låt svalna helt på bakgaller. Lägg in i frysen och låt bli riktigt kalla.

Hacka chokladen till fyllningen.

Ta ut och lägg en skopa glass på hälften av kakorna, lägg en ytterligare kaka ovanpå. Rulla kakorna i den hackade chokladen, så att glassen täcks av chokladkross. Servera direkt, eller lägg in i frysen igen fram till servering.

Chocolate chip cookes with ice-cream

8 cakes

Ingredients

4 dl oat flour

1 1/2 dl coconut sugar

100 gram dark chocolate

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 vanilla powder

1 pinch sea salt

50 grams rapeseed oil

3/4 plant mylk

Filling

Ice-cream - my favourite is the Swedish raw food ice-cream from Lili and Hannas!

50 gram dark chocolate

How to

Pre heat the oven to 200 °C.

Blend all the dry ingredients. Chop the chocolate and add to the dry blend. Add plant mylk and oil and stir together to a batter. Add small dollops of the batter to a baking tray.

Bake the cookies for 12 minuter. Let cool on a cooling rack. Put in the freezer to make them really cold.

Chop the 50 grams chocolate for the filling.

Take out the cookies from the freezer and put a big spoon of ice-cream on half of the cookies. Put another one on top. Roll the cookies in the chopped chocolate to cover the ice-cream in chocolate. Serve straight away, or put in the freezer until serving!

Cashew ice cream bites with crispy chocolate coating

Most times when I make “raw desserts” like these ones I use buckwheat in the base as I think it can get quite “heavy” and almost too filling if there is nuts and seeds in the whole thing. PLUS the toasted buckwheat gives a great crispy texture!

This goodies takes a bit of preparation or - more accurately - that you have time to do the cake the day before you’d want to serve/enjoy it. Mostly because the cake needs a good 8 hours or too so set in the freezer. The steps before though doesn’t take much time at all and aren’t tricky. So - let’s get baking right this second so that you could enjoy a bite or two (or 5) tomorrow!

Cashew ice cream bites with crispy chocolate coating

Makes 12

Chocolate layer

4 dl / 1.6 cups whole buckwheat groats

24 fresh dates, pitted

1 dl / 0.4 cups cacao, preferably raw

2 pinches sea salt

3 Tbsp light tahini *

Ice cream filling

3 dl / 1.2 cups cashew nuts, soaked for 2-4 hours

2 dl / 0.8 cups coconut milk or oat cream

10 fresh dates, pitted

1 tsp pure vanilla powder

1 pinch sea salt

100 grams frozen (or fresh if in season and locally grown) blueberries, thawed

25 grams freeze-dried berries, for example raspberries and strawberries

How to

Soak the cashews for 2-4 hours.

Pre heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F.

Put the buckwheat in a fine mesh strainer. Bring about 5 dl of water to a boil. Pour over the buckwheat, then rinse with cold water. Put the buckwheat on a baking tray, toast in the oven until dry and crisp - takes about 10-15 minutes. Stirr every now and then.

Mix the toasted buckwheat for a minute in a food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix to a dough. You might want to add a bit more water if the dough feels too dry. Divide the dough in half. Roll the doughs, one at a time, in to thin “sheets” between two baking papers using a rolling pin. You want the sheets to be the same size as the bottom of a small baking tin which you’ll use to freeze the ice cream bites in. Put one sheet in the bottom of the baking tin (with a baking paper underneath). Put in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Rinse and drain the cashews. Mix with the rest of the ingredients - except the blueberries - until completely smooth using a blender. Pour 2/3 of the mix on top of the chocolate base. Add the blueberries to the blender and mix until completely smooth once more. Pour over the cashew base. Sprinkle over the freeze-dried berries. Put in the fridge for 2 hour. Take out, and finish by adding the second crispy chocolate layer on top, lightly press in down. Put back in the fridge and let sit over night.

Remove from the fridge and cut in to small pieces, to get the prettiest pieces it’s easiest to cut them straight out of the freezer - however I prefer to wait 5-10 minutes before serving. It’s THE BEST, trust me! Even though it’s reallyyyyy heard not to start eating them straight away…

HOPE YOU LIKE THEM!

*If you cannot find light one I’d suggest you’d use cashew butter instead, as a dark tahini will give to much flavour here - we want to get the “humble” flavour/quality wihich both light tahini and cashew butter have - unlike other nut/seed butters (which I LOVE too, but just not here).

Soft raspberry ice cream with whipped coconut cream and hazelnuts

A quick dessert, or why not a weekend breakfast och brunch. That's one of many clever things about nourishing food, you can have them at anytime from breakfast to dessert! Avocado is the secret ingredient which makes this quick ice cream irresistibly soft and creamy. Try substitute raspberries for blueberries, blackberries or a mix of you favourite berries!

And oh, if you can't find hazelnuts without skin in your grocery you can scroll down to find my tips on how to remove skin from hazelnuts (as it has the tendency to give a bitter taste we want to remove it). Plus tips on how to best deseed a pomegranate - knowledge you cannot live without!

Now, who wants soft ice cream in 15 minutes?!

Soft raspberry ice cream with whipped coconut cream and hazelnuts

Serves 4

15 minutes

Ingredients

3 ripe avokados

500 g frozen raspberries

1 tsp pure vanilla powder

4 fresh dates, pitted (use more for a sweeter taste)

Topping

1 1/2 dl / 0.6 US cups coconut cream

1 dl / 0.4 US cups pomegranate seeds

1/2 dl / 0.4 US cups toasted hazelnuts, skin removed 

2 tbsp cacao nibs

Fresh lemon balm

How to

Whip the coconut cream until fluffy. If you find it hard to get it fluffy you can let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minute, as that will make it more firm and easier to whip.

Thaw the raspberries for 5 minutes. Mix with the rest of the ingredients for the ice cream using a immersion blender, food processor och preferably high speed blender until SUPER smooth. Add more dates for a sweeter touch.

Divide in to 4 small (or 2 big if you're on that mood) bowls and top with coconut cream, hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds, cacao nibs and last but not least fresh lemon balm. Eat straight away!!

Toast and peel hazelnuts

Pre heat the oven to 175 degrees celsius. Put the hazelnuts on a baking tray and toast for about 10 minutes, until the skin starts to crackle. Let cool. Put in a clean kitchen towel and rub to remove the skin.

Deseed a pomegranate

Cut of the top crown and the bottom of the fruit. Now carefully cut the fruit from the top to the bottom, along the inner gentle ridges/fruit membrane which you are suposed to see once the top and bottom are removed. Normally you'll get about 6 cuts. Open the pomegranate, so that you get separate sections. Now you can easily deseed the pomegranate, using your fingers, preferably over a bowl. Remove any membranes that might come with the seeds.
