made a raw vegan chocolate chip cheesecake for a friend of my sister who could definitely use some lovingly made delicious, nourishing food :) i couldn’t resist making a bite sized version so I could try it too! it was delicious!

crust:
3/4 cup raw almonds (soaked 4 hours)
1/4 cup raw walnuts (soaked 4 hours)
1 cup pitted dates
1/2 tsp salt

combine all ingredients in a food processor and run till dough-like. press crust flat in a spring pan (mines 20”).

cheesecake filling:
14 oz raw cashews (soaked 4 hours)
1/2 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup raw agave
3/4 cup coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla extract

combine all ingredients in food processor and run till smooth and creamy. add in 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (mine weren’t raw, but you could definitely make some raw chocolate chips or buy a raw chocolate bar to put in instead). pour filling on top of crust.

freeze for an hour or two to set it and then enjoy !

The 40 Calorie Flour Tortilla

I made some home made guacamole to go with these. They’re pretty easy to make and delicious!

Market Comparison:

In terms of cost, I’m not sure as I’ve never bought tortillas from the store… But I imagine they do not cost 1 cent per tortilla. Nutritionally, 1 Flour Mission Tortilla is 150 calories… These are about a FOURTH of that. :)

Ingredients:

• 1/8 Teaspoon Salt
• .5 oz Water
• 1/4 Cup Flour
• 1/8 Teaspoon Baking Powder

Servings: Creates 2 Tortillas (1 Tortilla = 1 Serving)

Nutritional Facts:

• Calories Per Serving: 41.25 cal
• Fat (g) per Serving: 0.00 g
• Carbs (g) per Serving: 8.63 g
• Protein (g) per Serving: 1.13 g
• Sodium: 32.50 mg

Financial Facts:

Cost Per Serving is $0.01.

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix. Dough should combine in to a single ball. If this doesn’t happen, add a little more water incrementally until it does.
2. Cover the dough with a wet towel or cloth for ~15 minutes.
3. Split dough into two balls. Roll into round shapes.
4. Flour the counter.
5. Take each ball and roll out into a very flat circle.
6. Take each circle and place onto an ungreased skillet.
7. Cook over medium heat until tortilla starts to show brown spots.
8. Enjoy!

Jason, whom I haven’t seen in over 6 weeks, is finally coming home today! I’m so antsy I can’t even sit still. It’ll be amazing if I ever get through this post. That being said, I’ll have to keep this nice and short.

Now this is probably the gazillionth muffin recipe on Damn Delicious but…
