Here's a special Valentine Recipe just for you. Created by Tristen and strait from his book Raw Creations from a Seven-year-old, this Raw Coconut-Strawberry Ice Cream is a treat even non-raw step-dad Rich loves. We hope you'll try it, and know you'll scream for more if you do!
Raw Coconut-Strawberry Ice Cream
Ingredients:
Meat from 2 baby coconuts
1 cup frozen strawberries
½ cup fresh strawberries
1 T. coconut oil, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 T. raw honey
enough coconut water to blend
Directions:
Chop up the 1 cup of the frozen strawberries in the blender until they’re small chunks. Pour in a bowl and set in the freezer. Put the coconut meat, fresh strawberries, oil and vanilla in the blender and blend, adding a verrry small amount of coconut water as you need it. You want it as thick and as smooth as possible. Pour this over the chopped frozen strawberries and stir together. Pour into a sealable container and put it in the freezer. Stir it every couple of hours as it’s freezing to help keep it soft. Serve and enjoy.
O.K., I just can't help myself. Today I threw together a Strawberry Shortcake for breakfast--and again, my non-raw husband chowed down. Here's what I did:

Raw Strawberry Shortcake
1. Grind 2 coffee grinders full of cashews--ground up of course
2. Grind a large handful of dates, ground in the coffee grinder with a little of the cashew "flour" so it wouldn't stick and clump.
3. Pour into a bowl and add a spoonful of honey and a dribble of vanilla and mix. That's the shortcake. You can shape portions into cups/cakes in small bowls.
4. Pulse-blend a couple large handfuls of strawberries and a spoonful of honey. Leave lots-o-chunks!
5. Pour over shortcakes, garnish with a strawberry half, and chow down!
We hope you receive lots of love from yours, and hugs to all who take the time to read our blog!!!
