**Recipe: Fresh Strawberries & cReEm

If you are vegan and long for/crave/sometimes fantasize about creamy dairy products like yogurt and sour cream and whipped cream and cream sauces, this cReEm recipe will definitely please you!

vegan almond-coconut creme
1. Soak a handful of natural, raw almonds in filtered water (to cover) for 6-12 hours. The soaking will break down enzyme inhibitors and allow for improved use of the nut’s nutrients in the body.2. “Blanche” the almonds by pouring hot water over them, and within 30 seconds, drain the hot water and pour the almonds into icy cold water…. (it’s good to have the two temperatures of water ready to go before you pour the hot water over them). This does not cook the almonds, but be sure to not leave them longer than about 30 seconds in the hot water. Quickly slide the skins off the nuts. Removing the skins is basically to have a smooth white puree, and the “jury is still out” as to whether the skins are more or less nutritious when left on the raw almond.2. Add the almonds to the bowl of the VitaMix and spin up with about a cup of water, increasing the water to make the process of “creaming” the almonds quicker. Add enough water to make the puree the consistency of dairy cream.

3. Add, in the VitaMix: 1/2 Cup of unsweetened coconut flakes (the sweetened stuff has processed sugar in it), and about a tablespoon of raw honey (to your taste) or Stevia powder (again, to your taste). Whirr up until fairly smooth but thicker, like the consistency of sour cream.

4. I also add about a 1/2 teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt and a teeny amount (maybe 1/4 teaspoon) of organic Vanilla extract. “Raw” purists will likely want to dispense with these items, and anything else that might be “cooked”.

This is a lovely, sweet, creamy, nutty tasting treat that can be used as a dip for fresh strawberries or other tasty, juicy fruits (mango, peaches, cherries, etc. etc. etc.) It is also good as a ’spread’, maybe under a layer of mashed mango, for instance. It really satisfies that sometimes-craving for dairy or the like.

Enjoy!
