FINYS FABULOUS FOODS AND FINDS

I am not a vegan, and I am no longer even a vegetarian - I eat little red meat, and have a lot of milk and cheese. However, now, as I have often said, my lovelies, I have had to cut down on the amount of sugar I eat, so am always trying new low fat, no added sugar desserts and snacks. This is actually a vegan recipe, I believe, however that was co-incidence.  Often these raw desserts are vegan, and nearly always they are delicious. It is another recipe that needed to be made several times to get the consistency correct, but hey, I love creating and experimenting.  This one I had tasted a similar one at a friend's place, however she had bought it and did not quite know what was in it! This recipe does have some maple syrup in it, and I always buy the pure maple syrup as the cheaper one is more processed.  Even though "sugar is sugar" regardless of how it is presented, I really believe that using a natural sugar like maple syrup, or coconut sugar, is far healthier....

This dessert is really one "to die for"! It is not for the dieters, but if you are on a diet, make it for your family or friends, and just eat a tiny bit just to get the taste of it. I use Violet Crumble Bar as this and the chocolate in it, gives it an extra level of flavour. The combinations of flavours in this recipe work so well, and the result is a rich, creamy tasting dessert which would impress anyone. It's easy to make and requires no baking.
