Raw Snickers Slab




I made Livia's Raw Snicker Slab twice in the past 2 weeks ~ so I guess you could say it's my new favorite snack?????? The chocolate and carmel flavors remind me of a Snicker's bar and the chocolate and coconut flavors remind me of an Almond Joy... wow, the deliciousness of two great candy bars without the refined sugar, wheat or dairy (not to mention preservatives ;o) I'm sure you'll also love these tasty treats filled with raw chocolate, peanuts, and dates.

Since Livia's recipe was in UK measurements, I did my best converting it to US measurements ~ may not be exact, but they worked for me. 

Note: I don't recommend trying this recipe without a food processor??

Ingredients

Nougat Base
  • 1 1/4 cups ground rolled oats
  • 1 cup ground almonds 
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla powder or extract

Peanut Carmel 
  • 2 cups pitted dates
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/8 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder or extract
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup peanuts


Raw Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla powder or extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 Tbsp pure maple syrup

Recipe

Step 1: Grind oats in food processor to a flour consistency. Add other Nougat ingredients and pulse until mixture sticks together. 


Press mixture into an 9 by 9 inch pan lined with wax paper. Place in freezer while making Peanut Carmel mixture.

Step 2: Add dates to food processor and pulse until mixture is pasty. Add other Peanut Carmel ingredients, except peanuts, and pulse until mixture is smooth. Add peanuts and pulse a few more times to combine. Remove pan from freezer and spread Peanut Carmel mixture over the Nougat base. Return pan to freezer.

Step 3: Melt the coconut oil in a double boiler; add other Raw Chocolate Topping ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined and smooth. Remove pan from freezer and pour Raw Chocolate Topping over the Peanut Carmel mixture. 

Place back in freezer for an hour, or until chocolate mixture hardens. After removing from freezer, let sit for about 15 minutes before slicing to prevent it from cracking. Good luck ~ I hope you enjoy these as much as I do??

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
