My eating has been all over the place where I wont eat all day then I will have seem piece of shit as meal to sooth the pain. Well I am happy to be eating more normally and even more happy to be back to my blog. I REALLY love cooking and blogging and feel it is my way of expressing art.... and what better way to express a broken heart than to create food with hearts in it.
Anyways, on to what you are all here for, the food! The beautiful picture above was taken by my awesome friend Elise who had the pleasure of eating this delectable little dessert. It is something I just threw together and didn't measure so if you are making your own and something doesn't seem right go with your gut and adjust it. It is super easy and you can shape the "shortcake" into pretty much any shape you would like. Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum....
Raw Strawberry Shortcake
"Shortcake":
4-5 dates pitted
1 cup of walnuts
dash of salt
Cashew Cream:
1/2 cup cashews
2 tablespoons agave
water
2 pints of strawberries sliced
1 tablespoon agave
1. Mix the strawberries and the agave together and set aside. In a food processor add the dates, walnuts and salt and mix until a course mixture is formed, the mixture should have some texture but still hold together. To make the cashew cream add cashews and agave to blender and cover just to the top of the cashews with water. Blend until a smooth creamy consistency is formed.
2. To assemble separate the strawberries into four dishes. You can either crumble the shortcake on top the strawberries or shape it into whatever you wish. Then top with cashew cream and it's ready to go.
