Vanilla Almond Cookies

(adapted from here)

Makes 18-22 cookies

1 1/4 cups almond milk pulp
6-8 soaked and pitted medjool dates
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp almond or coconut flour (I used pecan flour)
1 vanilla bean, scraped, or 1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract
Dash sea salt

1. Mix all ingredients together in a food processor until the “dough” is the same texture and consistency of sugar cookie dough. You may need to add a little more flour, but start with the given amount.

2. You can use the dough in a cookie press or (since i dont own a cookie press), you can always roll them out or just form them into cookies.

33 Dehydrate the cookies at 115 degrees for 8 hours, flipping once through (if you dehydrate these overnight and don’t flip, it’s also fine).

Notes: these cookies would work well with some lavender or cinnamon. These are perfect for a tea party or (dipped in raw chocolate) a little fancy gift.

Fresh Fruit Tart for Two

This is definitely more of a summer favorite, but it’s a nice change of pace from pumpkin everything. This easily makes enough for two people (aww) or one person if you are selfish and very hungry.

 

Fresh Fruit Tart for Two

Start with a 3 5/8” ring mold.

Crust:

1/2 C Almonds

Pinch of Salt

3 Medjool Dates

Start by processing the almonds into a fine crumb, add the salt and the dates and process until the mixture comes together. Take the mixture and form into a ball, making sure everything is mixed together. Press the dough ball into the ring mold and shape.

Refrigerate or freeze while the filling is being made.

Filling:

1 C Young Coconut Meat

3/4 C Raw Cashews, Soaked

1/4 C Coconut Oil, Melted

1 Vanilla Bean, scraped

1/2 T. Lemon Juice

¼ C Raw Honey

Blend all of the ingredients together. If the mixture becomes unwilling to blend, start by adding 1 T of water at a time until a custard texture is formed.

Pour the filling into the shell.

Freeze for 45 minutes.

Top with fresh fruit.

Enjoy!
