How about having your cake and eating it too? Too good to be true? Philip McCluskey and Heather Pace walk you through a hands-on carob dessert adventure with Raw Food Carob Desserts. Ready to get started? First off, forget the ingredients that make traditional desserts unhealthy for you. You won't find those in this book. Instead you'll find healthy alternatives like protein-rich nuts and seeds, natural sweeteners, and powerful superfoods. Image fluffy coconut frosting, crunchy carob chips, smooth soft-serve ice cream, and silky luscious cheesecake. There are many dessert books that focus on chocolate recipes, but this is the first raw carob dessert book, the perfect alternative to chocolate. So if cacao doesn't agree with you, you're looking to stay away from caffeine, or just ready to try something new, then this book is perfect for you. In this book you'll find recipes that mimic traditional desserts, but are nutritious, guilt-free, and will have you feeling energized and satisfied. We also felt it was important to make most of these dishes dehydrator-free. Not only do recipes like these take less time and are easier to make, but also they are healthier for the body. Part of what we love about raw vegan carob desserts is it tastes similar to chocolate, but without any of the stimulation or side effects. Add some flavor to your favorite smoothie, whip it up in a pudding, or create a frosting that will have your kids screaming for more. All of this can be done with the magical carob pod. Carob is high in calcium, magnesium, iron, and phosphorous, while completely free of caffeine and theobromine, which are stimulants and found in chocolate. The idea behind this book is to show you how to make delicious carob desserts that everyone will love. So skip the chocolate and try something new, we guarantee you'll love it!
