26 Apr Raw Double Layered Nice Cream Sandwich (Raw, Vegan, Gluten-free, Sugar-free, Nut-free)
Yesterday I received a lovely parcel from Lola of Aduna, which is an African-inspired health brand. Their baobab powder is the first one I’ve ever encountered, and Aduna is the brand that introduced this awesome superfruit – Baobab in my life. Ever since then I’ve been incorporating baobab in my diet 💛 Lola was so kind to send me a box of parcel containing all these amazing goodies. I’ve never tried moringa before but have been hearing lots of good things about it. So, when I receive this parcel yesterday, I’m already looking forward to experimenting with some new raw food ideas today.
As I think baobab goes really well with mango, so why not make a mango nice cream with baobab? But I’ve done it for so many times already. Therefore, I came up with another idea – NICE CREAM SANDWICH! And since I can’t wait to try the moringa as well, I opted for a double layered nice cream sandwich in between raw cacao cookies. Does it sound good? Here comes the recipe! 💃🏻
Ingredients:
Raw Cacao Cookies:
2/3 cup oat
1/3 buckwheat
1 heaped Tbsp Big Tree Farms raw cacao powder
1 cup pitted dates
Nice Cream:
2 frozen bananas
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 heaped tsp Aduna baobab
1 Tbsp Aduna moringa
1 tsp Amazonia prebiotic
Directions:
- Line 2 loaf pans with baking sheets
- Place the oats and buckwheat into a food processor and roughly process (I don’t want it to be too finely powered so as to retain some texture in the “cookies”)
- Then add the pitted dates and raw cacao powder and process until all ingredients stick together, you can add some water if the mixture is too dry or doesn’t form a dough
- Press half of the cookie mixture into the bottom of the lined loaf pan firmly. Do the same for the other half of the mixture in another baking tray
- Place the “cookies” into the freezer while you are preparing the nice cream layers
- For the nice cream layers, place every ingredients except moringa into a high-speed blender (I used Vitamix) and blend until smooth
- Pour half of the nice cream on top of one of the cookie base, spread evenly and put it back to the freezer
- Add moringa to the remaining nice cream and process again until the nice cream turns green! (Yay!)
- Carefully spread the green nice cream on top of the yellow layer
- Put the pan back to the freezer for 10 minutes until the nice cream slightly hardens
- Place the other cookie base on top of everything and slightly press it downwards so that the nice cream layer sticks with the cookie
- Freeze for few hours until it becomes firm and hardens
- Cut them into desired shape and share it with your friends! Coz I’m sure they will love it 😆
