to plant based dessert - apple tartlets + cashew creme
PLANTBASED DESSERT
PLANTBASED HACK:
Create a more liquid version of that staple cashew cream and turn it into ice cream. Add in more water, coconut, almond or rice milk to thin out the creme. Add maple syrup, vanilla,... if desired
Pour into a container and place in freezer. Ice cream.. done!
PLANT BASED HACK: Create flour our of every grain you have. Blend up Oats, Buckwheat, Quinoa,..
But make sure you have a high speed blender!
Place the grains or oats into the foodprocessor and blend up until fine flour forms.
Easy as that!
PLANT BASED HACK:
Make your own nut butter by adding your favourite nut or seeds to a food processor.
Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews, Sunflower Seeds, Pumlpkin seeds, Pecans,...
Turn on the processor - with and S-blade - and let it grind up the nuts or seeds.
This might take a while.
As the oils starts to release the nuts or seeds will turn into a paste.
Add coconut oil to help out the process.
Optionally add in sea salt, vanilla, cacao powder... to flavor it
