I've Got A Doozie For You


You guys... THESE TURNED OUT AMAZING!!!!  Seriously, they are like little cheesecakes!  They're RAW, gluten free and vegan.  And with no baking, these babies were quick.  I found them HERE, gave them a go and they are PERFECTION!!!!

So you'll want to start with the cream (I made a couple of small variations to Sunwarrior's recipe):

CREAM
1 Cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
Pinch of Himalayan crystal salt
1 Heaping tsp. coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Juice of one small lemon
Zest from one small lemon

Combine all ingredients in a high power blender for 1 minute.  Place in fridge to cool/set up.

CRUST
1 Cup almonds
4 Dates pitted
Splash of Vanilla Extract

Place almonds in food processor and grind into a chunky, meal consistency.  Add dates and blend until the mixture looks crumbly and forms a ball when pressed.  I store my dates in the fridge, if you do the same, be sure to pull them out with plenty of time to get them to room temp.  Cold dates WON'T WORK!!!  Add vanilla and pulse about 5 times.  Using a muffin pan (I used my Pampered Chef Square Brownie Pan), press a small amount of the crust to the bottom and along the sides of each well to form a "cup".  Be sure the crust doesn't have cracks or holes.  Put crusts into the freezer to firm for about 1/2 hour.

Once firm, fill each cup with cashew cream and garnish with your favorite fruit.  I did blueberries because I LOVE the flavor of blueberries and lemon.  But you really can play around with the flavors here.... cherries I think would also be a winner.

Oh, I hope you guys give these yummy and healthy desserts a try.  I wouldn't classify these beauties as "guilt free", but I WOULD classify them as good for you!

Using any Nightmare before Christmas Images Create your best Christmas Project with that Burton Flair!ļ»æ This weeks winner will win... Three Exclusive Nightmare Before Christmas Images from Simply Betty Stamps . Oh man.... that's a HUGE prize! Head over to The Burtonesque Dolls and check out what the other awesome design team members created for inspiration. As for this one.... I KNEW I wanted to use the speckled grey cardstock for this one. I love how it resembles the granite of a gravestone. That's pretty Burtonesque, don't you think? I also found an awesome Engravers Font, but for some reason couldn't get it uploaded to my font folder. Too soon before Christmas for me to want to deal with glitches, so I just settled for an easy holiday font that I already had available. But for the record... the "Happy Holidays" in a tombstone font would have "NAILED" this project!!! Huh... I...
