Bring
more raw living foods to your dinner table with this delightful raw
apple dessert. Sweet crisp red or yellow apples are grated and goji
berries are added for their great nutrition and color. An Apple
Ginger Sauce adds a sweet tartness and Orange Ginger Mac Nut
Cream gives it a smooth creamy texture.
To the Chef: During apple season, shop for apples
at your local farmer's market. Look for a sweet crisp apples. If your
dates are hard soak them in the apple juice. This recipe was
developed with a high speed blender. If using a kitchen blender
pregrind the flax seeds. Golden flax seeds are higher in nutrition
than the brown variety. Use a good sea salt. If using cashews or
other nut other than Mac nuts, do not add the coconut oil as when
chilled the cream becomes too hard. Make ginger juice by grating
ginger small and squeezing out the juice.
