Hazelnut Silk Petit Four
These HAZELNUT SILK PETIT FOUR are a french classic with a jarOhoney twist. This was a product collaboration with Windy City Organics.
A perfect balance of 4 elements: semi-sweet dark chocolate, white chocolate, raspberries and fresh mint. The square base is a smooth, raw dark semi-sweet chocolate kissed with fresh organic mint flakes. The center is the raw HAZELNUT SILK spread mixed with just enough fine grated coconut to create a soft yet slightly chewy center. These two decadent layers are then balanced out with the slightly tart and vibrant fresh raspberry puree.Then we finish this symphony with chiffonade organic mint. ARE YOU DROOLING YET? Well to let you know it DOES taste as GOOD AS IT LOOKS!
Blueberry Sweet Tea
Besides the abundant sunshine and warm weather that we get in the summer, I love the variety of fruits available. One of the fruits summer has to offer is blueberries….OH HOW I LOVE YOU SO!
As you all know, fruit is a very large part of my diet; so it is natural for me to make tasty recipes using fruit. Not only do I make fruit salads and smoothies with fruit, I also flavor water and tea with it too. Some of you might be thinking, “how do you make tea on a RAW diet?” It is actually quite simple, I cold brew my teas.
Cold brewing is a method that adheres to my raw lifestyle yet it is bursting with flavor like traditionally made tea. I just get my half-gallon glass jar, add my organic tea bags (6 tea bags for green tea or 4 bags for black tea), fill with 100 degree water and allow this to steep overnight. If I am making a fruit flavored tea, after it is cold brewed I add the flavoring to it. See, pretty simple. I even make different flavors at the same time so my family can have a variety of teas to choose from. This also prompts everyone to grab a glass of fresh tea instead of soda.
Sweet tea is has been a staple of summer beverages for generations and all across America, but why not take it a next step further and make it healthy? Traditional sweet tea is just brewed tea, tons of sugar and sometimes lemon juice; but I feel we can make a better choice here. I like to use fresh RIPE organic fruit with just a touch of raw agave syrup in my cold brewed organic tea.The fruit has natural sweetness and vitamins, the agave syrup adds a touch of more sweetness and smoothness to it, and the organic cold brewed tea has retained all of its antioxidant properties.
Although I have many combinations of sweet tea (and unsweetened tea), I want to give you my recipe for BLUEBERRY SWEET TEA. Just think, the flavor of fresh ripe blueberries with a touch of sweetness all in a refreshing drink that will cool you off and give you some extra health benefits this summer…. CHEERS to our HEALTH!!

Raw Chocolate Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter cups may just be one of my favorite treats of all time. That is, until deciding to add a bit of October spirit and fall flavors to make Halloween-worthy raw chocolate PUMPKIN peanut butter cups. These are 100% delicious, 100% raw, and what’s even better? They are good for you!
Pumpkin is an immune boosting food, packed with good fiber, potassium, vitamin A and vitamin E. Adding a bit to your peanut butter cups ups the nutritional value, packs a seasonal burst of flavor and adds a festive orange color! Enjoy!
Raw Caramelized Onion Ice Cream
Now, now, stop wrinkling your nose. Yes you, I see you. There is always something new to made for dessert. For starters the creamy smoothness of this ice cream will far surpass many of the standard commercial ice creams that you will find at your local grocery store. See, I am easing you into this onion ice cream idea. hehe Is it working? I wanted to create an ice cream I would fall madly in love with, you know the kind that you just want to bathe in? Ok, maybe we don’t want to bathe in onion ice cream, but hang in there with me. It’s not often that I let you down, why would you think that I would start here?
In my kitchen lab, our (my) unique flavor development process embraces the idea that “eating ice cream is an experience that creates memories”. Our (that would be my again) “recipe” for developing a new flavor includes large measures of experience, passion and down right “pickiness” for creating a memorable flavor.
My flavor development team (ah, me again hehe) includes very passionate people (me) who enjoy GOOD ice cream. Their (those would be my) ice cream flavor concepts are brought to life in our lab where we (I) try as many creative flavors that I can handle. Our Team (Bob and I) is committed to eating as much ice cream as necessary to ensure that only the best flavor concepts make it into the Nouveau Raw line-up! Dang, I really need to hire a larger staff! lol
