Almond Delight

[Damzlfly]

hi All!

I submitted this for Alissa's book, but wanted to post here so you all could try it...its SO GOOD!! I tried this at my raw cafe and HAD to figure it out at home...so here is what I came up with :) enjoy!

Almond butter:
3 C dry almonds
2 TBS coconut oil/butter

Process the almonds until they start to break down and become a tad oily and then add the coconut oil. FP until creamy. It will take a while, and you may have to shut off the FP for a while...but it will happen. Yields 2 C almond butter

Almond Delight:

2 C almond butter
1/4 C coconut oil
1/4 C agave nectar
1/3 C shredded coconut
1/2 C chopped cashews
1/2 C raw granola (optional)

Blend the first 3 ingredients in an FP. Add coconut and chopped cashews and pulse until well combined. You want to keep pieces of cashews intact

Spread mixture into a wax paper lined loaf pan, top with raw granola and place in fridge to firm up. When firm, slice into 1" cubes.

Variation 1 - pour mixture into individual tartlet pans and top with granola
Variation 2 - line 9" pie plate with granola to form a crust and pour in almond mixture. Top with more granola and firm up in fridge.
Variation 3 - top with fruit puree

Just a Tip:
If you're making the almond butter specifically for THIS recipe, just add the rest of the coconut oil to the almonds in the first place, and it will process easier : )
