First raw caca experience!

[tvillemom]

OK...here's what I did:
first I put the nibs in my coffee grinder...
then, in my Omega juicer I decided to run some cashews thru to make cashew "butter", which is NOT creamy, but kinda hard...
then I wanted to make my banana ice cream so instead of washing my juicer, I just pushed my bananas right thru.
Mixing some agave nectar with cacao powder, to make more of a syrup.....


I had NO intention of having cashew butter with my ice cream..but it got alittle mixed in...and when I poured on the "syrup" and then sprinkled with alittle coconut flakes I had frozen....as I was eating, I realized the most amazing flavor when the cashew butter was mixed in...so off I went to the kitchen to crumble up alittle more cashew butter into my banana ice cream..


WOWZA!!! I'M IN LOVE!!!:D

Ha ha....Wendi....I just had to comment...when I saw the title of your post, I was like, "What? What is a raw caca experience?!" Well, on this board, you never know! ;) But then, ooh, a raw cacaO experience, aah, I seeeee.....
And your ice cream sounds delicious.....just may have to give that a go!

I am with you.
I always mix either wallnuts or cashews in my chocolate icecream and love the mix.

Ok this sounds amazing.

LOL....I had the same initial reaction as Shell, and I'm like okeedokee I gotta read this! :eek: But alas, I was happy to read about your recipe creation. It sounds quite lovely! :)

you can put nuts and stuff in a juicer?!?!?!

[aliciamatheson]

solong....don't stick nuts in any old juicer -it wouldn't survive - wendi has a super powerful juicer that can make nut butter - just wanted to stop you before tomorrow morning when you make your green smoothie!!! you would be so sad on the train with a blown-out juicer!....Alicia

LOL....can you tell I was on a CHOCOLATE HIGH???? I was so excited to post, and then, just now I saw my thread and was like....:eek: I'm not one to usually posts typos....at least I don't think.....yeah, I'm caca alright, as in CRAZY!!:D

Love you guys....

SOLONG...YOU HAVE TO HAVE A JUICER THAT USES A SCREEN AND/OR A BLANK PLATE....like a champion, an Omega (which I have and LOVE) or a Sampson, or something like that. The little centrifugal juicers (like the Juiceman or Juiceman Jr. {which I started with last year}) won't work. They are alittle more pricey, but WELL WORTH THE COST!!

Take care.
I'm off to have more CACA ICECREAM.....LOL!!:D
