Has anyone made the recipe below from Kenney Matthew???? I want to try it but I don’t think it’s going to have the hard sugar crust…If I add the recipe below for the candied nuts using almond halves I think it will work…..Has anyone tried it??????????????? What do you think?????????????

Maple Crème Brulee

1 ½ cups cashews
½ cup pine nuts
½ cup maple syrup
2/3 cup coconut oil melted
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
2 vanilla beans, scraped
1 teaspoon vanilla
Maple syrup for serving

Blend cashew, pine nuts and ½ cup maple syrup in a high speed blender until smooth. Add all ingredients, aside from remaining maple syrup and continue to blend until smooth. Do not over blend
Pour mixture into a flan mold or any smooth sided ramekin, and allow to set into freezer for 30 minutes. Once dessert is set, refrigerate. When firm, turn over and remove from ramekin. After plated, drizzle each dish with approximately 2 tablespoons maple syrup


Candied Nuts approximately 4 cups

4 cups Walnuts, pecans or almonds
1 cup date paste
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon nutmeg
½ tablespoon cinnamon
Pinch cloves
2 teaspoons sea salt
Pinch cayenne

Soak nuts for 4 to 6 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Rinse well. Combine with remaining ingredients. Dehydrate for at least 24 hours

I LOVE Matthew Kenney's recipes! I haven't tried this one, but he is an incredible raw chef so it's my guess that it would be really good! Why don't you try it for all of us and let us know how it is? Good luck!!!

Are you using maple syrup or another sweetener (raw sweetener)?

If your asking if I added maple syrup in the pudding part yes.....


This is what I did

1. Took some pudding and put some on my plate
2. Added some maple syrup on top along with some coconut sugar (don’t know if raw)
But it tastes like brown sugar…probably can use anything that tastes like brown sugar will work

3. Sprinkled some Raw Cacao Nibs on top to give it the crunch

And that’s it….and it’s close to the real thing……

WOW!

Thanks for sharing!

Some coconut sugar is raw. I hadn't thought about comparing it to brown sugar, but that works for me!

Mmmmm....raw oatmeal with raw coconut sugar on top....YUM!!!

Are you going to make it????

As along as when you take some nibs that your sprinkled on top with some coconut sugar and maple syrup you'll be ok
and you get the after taste of the nibs

I'm not sure. I don't use maple syrup. I think it would be a wonderful dessert to take to a family
Thanksgiving dinner, so I am sure I will make it soon! Ü
