Raw Dessert- Blackberry Cobbler

I saw this recipe on http://earthmother-intheraw.blogspot.com/ and I think I may try it out this weekend. It looks heavenly!


Wild Blackberry Cobbler



Cream
1 1/2 C raw cashew nuts
1 1/8 C filtered water
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 C local raw honey (or agave nectar)
1 vanilla bean, scraped

-Place cashews, 1 cup water, salt, honey, and vanilla in a blender. Blend on high speed for about a minute. Add a little more water and blend until smooth and creamy. Place in refrigerator to settle. (NOTE: the cream may seem runny at first, but once refrigerated it thickens)

Crust
1/2 C pecans
1/4 C flax seed, ground
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 fresh ripe figs (can substitute 3-4 pitted dates), chopped

-Fit the food processor with the S-blade and mix until combined and crumbly. Don't over process.

Berry Filling
16 oz blackberries
splash of fresh orange juice
1 Tbsp local raw honey (can substitute agave nectar)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt

Set aside half of the berries. Combine the other half with honey, cinnamon, sea salt, and a splash of orange juice in a food processor or blender until smooth.


To Assemble
Cover the bottom of your favorite lil' bowl or ceramic ramekin with crumble, pressing gently to form a crust.
Pour in a nice dollop of cashew cream.
Spoon berry filling into the center of the cream, top off with some whole berries, and serve.
