a dessert

Recently I was asked to bring a dessert to a potluck...a potluck full of non-vegan, wheat-eaters. I was at a loss at what to bring because I knew that the attendees, very familiar with standard pot-luck desserts, would taste a difference in my vegan & gluten-free cookies and brownies.

So, after much debate, and having decided not to attempt a previously untried recipe, I made something up, and it worked! Its basically a nut/date crust, with dark chocolate, dairy free ice cream and fruit. Substitute the ice cream for a raw cream and the chocolate for raw chocolate and you have yourself a delicious raw treat.

Blend together, press into the bottom of a cake pan.

Melt chocolate and drizzle a layer on top.

Then add softened ice cream, more drizzled chocolate and freeze until hardened.

Add berries and extra coconut to the top.
