Dense Desserts

I scream. You scream . . .

You get the idea.

And what better way to get giddy about the most popular dessert known to man, than to dress it up in a cone. Or, if you don't have a cone, put it in a cup to make it look swirly nice.

For this demo, I made the Raspberry Banana Ice Dream recipe. 

If you have cake piping bags, then you're ahead of the game.  But if not, all you need is a plastic sandwich or freezer bag.

Scoop all that goodness out of your food processor or blender and into the bag. 

Nip the tip with scissors.

Then squeeze the creamy treat into your cone or cup, making a swirling motion as you go.

Top with nuts or coconut or cacao nibs for that over the top goodness.

Chocolate Truffles

I've been meaning to post this recipe for some time. 

Talk about easy, versatile and out of this world gooey and good.

Ingredients:

1 cup almonds

1/2 cup walnuts

1/2 cup dates

2 TBS Honey

3TBS Cacao (or Cocoa) Powder

Directions:

Place almonds in food processor and blend for 30 seconds.  Add walnuts and blend for 30 more seconds till mixture is fine granules. Add dates, honey and cocoa powder and blend till thoroughly mixed. Mixture should start to stick together and that's good. If not, add a tsp of water and blend till sticky.

Remove container, take mixture and roll into balls. This makes about 24-30 balls.

When complete, roll balls into coconut flakes, shredded almonds or a powder of cinnamon, nutmeg and dash of cayenne. (The options are endless)

 Put in freezer. Take out ten minutes prior to serving. 

Serve by itself or with above Ice Cream desserts.  

Enjoy!
