It's not a 100% raw recipe :(
I would sub with almond butter or something I guess.

Weird - it came up - halfway, showed me the photo and then froze...guess I'm not meant to see the ingredients...which is okay...

No, not a 100% RAW recipe. I want to tweak it and make it raw though. It shouldn't be too hard. They use a double boiler, sucanat, etc. I love the eye candy part of it though. :)

Maybe I should have included a footnote:
WARNING: not 100% raw recipe but we can take it and make it better, stronger and full of life! ;)

Hmmmm, I'm thinking you could use maca for the "peanut butter"? Actually someone did post peanut butter cups on the recipe photo thread, if I'm not mistaken...

I actually saw this recipe on Gliving.com yesterday, and was thinking about making it this way:


Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

Makes about 4-5 5-inch tarts

Top Layer Chocolate Filling:

1 Cup Young Coconut Meat
1/4 Cup Virgin Coconut Oil
2/3 Cup Maple Syrup - Agave
1/2 Cup Agave Nectar
8 oz Dark Bittersweet Chocolate - Cacao
1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt
2 TB Vanilla Extract

Peanut Butter Layer:

1 Cup Peanut Butter - either a maca/almond butter concoction or something of the like
1 TB Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup Agave Nectar
1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt

Crust:

1 Cup Almonds
1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup Raw Sucanat Sugar - mixture of stevia with some ground nuts
2 TB Maple Syrup
2 TB Cacao Nibs
2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
1/8 Tsp. Sea Salt

To make the crust, place the almonds in a food processor and process until coarsely ground. It’s ok if there are bits of almonds not broken down, this will add extra crunch and texture to the crust. Next add the cocoa powder, sugar and salt and process to combine lightly. Then add the rest of the ingredients and pulse several times until incorporated and slightly damp. Line your tart pans with saran wrap and then on top of it, gently press the crust mixture into the bottom and sides. Place them in the freezer while you prepare the fillings.

To make the chocolate filling, scoop out and clean the meat from a young baby coconut (the ones with pointy tops and shaved white). Add the coconut meat along with the rest of the ingredients to a high speed blender. One of the best coconut oils is Virgin De Coco Creme. If you can’t find it, get a virgin centrifugal coconut oil with a very light scent to almost no scent. To melt the chocolate, place it chopped over a double broiler or make your own double broiler using 2 pots, the bottom one with boiling water, and the top one with the chocolate in it. Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool.

To make the peanut butter filling, in a small mixing bowl, mix in the coconut oil, agave and sea salt with a large spoon. Take out your crusts from the freezer and start spreading….

On the bottom of crust spread a layer of Peanut Butter. Then pour the chocolate mixture on top. Place these back in the freezer to set. You can garnish them however you like. I like a lot of chocolate, so I garnished mine with chocolate shavings and chocolate sauce.

Yum!
I just ordered Wild Jungle Peanut Butter from Sunfood Nutrition. It's raw and recommended by David Wolfe.
