Cacao Crêpes and Sweet Mint Custard with black cacao sauce (raw, vegan) Recipe by GreenChef Matthew Kenney

Recipe from the Entertaining In The Raw Recipe Book by Matthew Kenney

When I was first experimenting with raw cacao, it was challenging to use—it was not yet available in powder form, and the taste was unusual, so I was a bit unsure of it—but the dried beans actually reacted well to certain recipes, especially those where a soft texture is needed. This dish is pure classic in flavor.

Serves 4–6 People

For the Crêpes:

 

1 quart flax meal

1 quart apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

2 cups chopped coconut meat

2 cups cocoa powder

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

2 quarts water

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 cup raw agave

2 1/4 teaspoons salt

2 cups cashews, soaked 4–6 hours

1 cup coconut meat

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raw agave

1/4 cup coconut oil

3/4 teaspoon peppermint oil

For the Jam:

 

1 pint raspberries

1/4 cup Irish moss

1/4 cup raw agave

1 tablespoon lemon zest

For the Sauce:

 

21/2 cups raw agave

1 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup carob powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 1/4 cups coconut oil

For the Banana “Ice Cream”:

 

1 cup cashews, soaked 1–2 hours

1/2 cup coconut meat

1/2 cup raw agave

1 1/4 cups water

2 fresh bananas, peeled

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 vanilla bean, scraped

Pinch sea salt

1/2 cup coconut oil

 

To Assemble

    Crêpes Blend all ingredients in a Vita-Mix. Spread thinly into 4- or 5-inch rounds on dehydrator Teflex sheets (9 per tray). Dehydrate 5–6 hours, or until dry but very pliable.

    Mint Custard Blend ingredients in Vita-Mix until smooth. Place in quart containers and freeze. Run in a Pacojet, freeze, and then run again. Makes 1 quart.

    Jam Blend all ingredients in a food processor, chill for 3 hours.

    Sauce Blend ingredients in Vita-Mix until smooth.

    Banana “Ice Cream” Blend all ingredients in Vita-Mix until very smooth. Pour into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Final Assembly:

Fill the crêpes with mint custard and jam. Scoop banana “ice cream” to the side and pour chocolate sauce over top.

    I'll try the crepes recipe but I might change the custard to Banana.

    The crepe recipe has to be wrong. There is no way that 1 quart flax meal, 1 quart apples, 2 cups chopped coconut meat, 2 cups cocoa powder and 2 quarts water will fit into a Vitamix or any blender for that matter.

    Hmmm, maybe he isn’t putting everything in at once or has a large container?
