A couple of weeks ago I made a raw tiramisu for a raw potluck and this turned out to be the most wanted from the buffett. So here is the recipe and I will try to upload a picture:

You need:
bananas
lemon juice
cocoa powder
carob powder
(you can use only cocoa powder or only carob powder or both, I use both because carob is a little sweeter)
coconut oil
agave nectar
cashew nuts (soaked)
1 ripe (brown) coconut
2 or more young Thai coconut
vanilla


1. Cut the bananas lengthwise and put in a casserole pan.

2. Sprinkle with lemon juice, so that they do not turn brown so fast.

3. Mix coconut oil (melted), agave nectar, cocoa powder and carob powder so that you get a chocolate sauce. Pour this sauce over the bananas.

4. Blend the soaked cashew nuts without the water. From the ripe (brown, common) coconut, take out the white meat and even remove the thin brown skin on it, then grate only the white part. Mix cashew "butter", the grated coconut and the meat of the young coconut with some agave nectar and vanilla from 1/2 to 1 vanilla bean. Blend until smooth. If this cream is too soft, just add melted coconut butter, so that it gets firm in the fridge.

5. Spread "cream" over the bananas and put in fridge for at least 1 hour.

5. Just before serving, mix about 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons carob powder and sprinkle over the tiramisu.

Indulge!

Your recipe has been tempting me for a couple of days now! I don't think I can purchase coconuts where I live, but I can purchase raw coconut flakes? Would that work?

Hi Molli,

sure, coconut flakes would work. The cream is creamiest if you only use young coconut meat and soaked and blended cashews (no ripe brown coconut), but with coconut flakes and cashews it will be okay, too - at least worth a try!

i think i just drooled on my keyboard

clean up aisle 5!

You're wonderful! Tiramisu was one of my favorite desserts and now I can indulge. :-)

Wow! that's quite amazing!
I Wonder if peaches could substitute the bananas, to keep the glicemix lower.
Anyway gonna try it!

I think almost any fruit would work, but I think bananas resemble the real tiramisu cookies best, and in addition, I am a real "banana+chocolate" lover!!!
