Almond Joys Recipe and Rawsome Vegan Baking Book Review. - Vegan Richa (2024)

Rawsome Vegan Bakingby Emily Von Euw easily is one of the most gorgeous books I have in my book case. Almost all of the recipes are accompanied by beautiful photographs. The desserts, the colors are deep, rich and striking. The recipes simplify raw baking or unbaking. The paper and binding is of amazing quality. The print, which is usually my pet peeve, is large, clear and uses the space well.

There are so many recipes that I have to try from the book. All of the layer cakes, mousse cakes, cheese cakes, creme brulee, tarts. I made the almond joys. They are so quick to put together and also so quick to disappear. They also are perfect Easter Candy, make egg shaped balls! I also made the S’mores cupcakes into mini tarts. One tart disappeared as soon as hubbs came home, and the other was instantly picked up by a 5 year old visitor that day. #kidapproved too!

Raw food I always thought would be a long process or a lot of dehydration and steps, but this book changes it all. There are very few dehydrator recipes and everything is fantastically delicious, healthy and decadent all the same time.

No Dairy, refined sugar, eggs, processed flour and gluten. If you love sweet and want to keep it healthy, this is the book for you.

If you are not a fan of dates or banana or coconut in all forms or cashews, then try a few recipes from the rawsome vegan baking blog tour or Emily’s blogand decide! 🙂More gorgeous photographs from the book and recipe list on Emily’s blog here.

I definitely need a Cocojack to make some of the young coconut recipes. If you are new to raw desserts and in Seattle, try some of the delicious desserts atJodees Dessertsor Thrive in Seattle.

Emily’s creations will surely be a crowd pleaser this summer. A creamy chilled Pink cherry Ice cream cake any day over a baked frosted one. 🙂

Almond Joys with Crunchy Coconut CenterEnrobed in Raw Chocolate

These are a little bit addictive for coconut lovers. My mom does not have a very bigsweet tooth but she devoured these in minutes, because she loved Almond Joy whilegrowing up. I see that as a job well done on my part! The best compliment is whensomeone can’t stop eating your recipe, or asks for seconds.

Makes: 6 large
CHOCOLATE
4 tablespoons (60 ml) melted cacao butter
¼ cup (30 g) cacao powder
2 tablespoon (40 g) preferred liquid sweetener

COCONUT CENTERS
1 ¼ cups (107 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon (15 ml) melted coconut oil, or as needed
1 tablespoon (20 g) agave nectar, or as needed

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE: Mix all the ingredients together until smooth. Set aside.

TO MAKE THE COCONUT CENTERS: Put half of the coconut into your food processor
and process until you get a chunky butter consistency; it may take several minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients, including the remaining coconut, and process untilit all sticks together. If it’s too dry, add more coconut oil or agave nectar. Press thismixture into flattened balls and put in the fridge for an hour, until they set. Then dipin the chocolate and allow the chocolate to set. Finally—eat.
