The Rawtarian’s Thoughts

No equipment required! Which means less dishes to clean, which is always a good thing!

These raw chocolate haystacks are awesome. I like to store them in the freezer for quick sugar fixes. These haystacks are probably one of my top 5 favourite recipes because they are really quick and really good!

Best served cold, straight-out of the freezer because coconut oil will liquify again once warm.

To get the white-coconut effect as seen in the picture, roll your finished haystacks in some additional shredded coconut before freezing.

 

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups dried shredded coconut

3/4 cup coconut oil (liquid)

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup raw cocoa powder

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt

Directions

1. Add all ingredients into large bowl except the shredded coconut.

2. Stir with spoon until well mixed.

3. Once combined, add shredded coconut. Stir again until well combined.

4. Form into small mounds and place on plate. Freeze for half an hour. (Haystacks will harden when cooled.)

5. Store leftover haystacks in freezer or refrigerator.

 

rawtarian_avatarLaura-Jane is The Rawtarian,a passionate raw vegan. What is a “raw vegan?” A raw vegan is someone who eats only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds–none of which are ever heated above 105F (40.6 Celsius). That’s it. Raw vegan recipes include cookies, brownies, cakes, crackers, macaroni and cheese, cheesecake, and more. All made from fruit, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. No bread products, no dairy products, just raw, natural ingredients! There is a whole movement of “raw vegans” (or “raw fooders”) who invent and share creative raw food recipes. Raw vegans prepare recipes using blenders and food processors instead of ovens and microwaves! ”Like” The Rawtarian on Facebook, and visit her for more great recipe ideas at therawtarian.com
