How many times do you begin a new recipe and at the very end you have over-looked a step and now the recipe is altered and doesn't come out right. Below I will list some steps to ensure your recipes will come out perfect each time you attempt to try one.
Step One: Always read the entire recipe before mixing or combining any ingredients. Grab a large bowl to dump in trash and apron with two hand towels. One towel to wipe hands and the other to wipe surfaces.
Step Two: Once you have read the recipe; get out all the dry or liquid ingredients needed.
Step Three: Gather your equipment. For example, measuring spoons and cups, blenders, food processors, etc.
Step Four: Measure out all liquid or dry ingredients and place them in order as directed by recipe.
Step Five: Next, attempt the recipe and dream of the delicious finished product.
To get you started, below is one of my favorite recipes to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Chocolate Pudding Parfait
2 ripe avocado ( make sure it gives slightly or ask produce to pick out a ripe one for you).
1/2-3/4 cup blue agave
1/4 cup raw cocao (Nativas Brand)
2 tablespoons of coconut oil (make sure you liquefy it by placing container in a bowl with warm water)
1 tablespoon of vanilla
dash of sea salt
dash of cinnamon
1 banana (slice the banana)
1 cart of strawberries (slice the strawberries)
Directions
Place everything in order in a high powered blender expect banana and strawberries, you will have to stop the blender a few times just to make sure the mixture is well blended. If it looks clumpy, stop the blender and use a spatula to move the mixture around, keep blending until is looks smooth. Next, take a pretty wine glass or clear glass and layer the bottom with banana's, then pudding, then strawberries, then pudding. Continue on till you reach the top with pudding. Place two banana slices on top or strawberries for garnish.
Variations
You can also double the recipe and place the pudding in a crust for a delicious French Silk Pie. Crust is made from 2 cups of pecans mixed with 1 cup of dates. Make sure you pit the dates. Pull dates apart, their is a oval shape stone is the center that must be removed before blending. Press crust in a 9 inch spring form pan. Pour in pudding, refrigerate over night and in the morning have a healthy pie for breakfast. Isn't raw food great.
Enjoy!!!
