Sweet Cream & Chocolate Fruit Sushi
Ingredients:
Romaine Lettuce Leaves
Strawberries
Blueberries
Cheesecake-Cashew-Coconut-Whipped-Cream
Coconut-Candied-Walnuts
Your favorite organic chocolate syrup,
OR
Easy Chocolate Sauce
1/2 Cup Agave
1 Date
2 Tbsp. Raw Cocoa Powder
1 Tbsp. Peanut Butter
Instructions:
Wash your strawberries.
Cut them up carefully, these peices will be on display, after all :)
Wash the organic romaine lettuce leaves, being careful not to tear the fibers since this needs to hold creamy fillings! Wash the blueberries as well.
Lay the romaine out flat and cut of peices that are brown or that make it hard to bend the leaf.
Now we have arrived to the good part! Smear on some raw coconut cashew cream!
Add a handful of blueberries.
Add sliced strawberries!
If you have any granola on hand, this is a really good addition. Or use my Easy Coconut-Candied Walnuts recipe.
Roll up the fruit carefully into the romaine lettuce leaf. On its side, poke several toothpicks obout two inches apart and then cut in-between to create a mini skewer. Or you can just eat it just like this!
A delicious fruit burrito! It's really good without the chocolate sauce too. This would make it really easy because you could have the cream on hand, pre-made and just make a snack!
Take a white plate and squirt little designs of chocolate onto the plate. If you are making your own chocolate sauce, like I did, then fill a zip-lock bag with the sauce and then cut a tiny end off (cut the corner off), so as to make a very small opening. This is like a cheap pastry-frosting bag.
Place a strawberry and a blueberry slice on top of the exposed top.
I added some baby mint leaf shoots.
Yum! I ate the whole plate, no guilt :)
Holy Cow, Aimee! I cannot get over your amazing photography. I am stunned by your skills in food art, recipe invention, and photos. I don't think you comprehend how fully amazing you are at this. I can't say enough good things! I have looked at so many blogs, a lot of them professional and some of them not. Your photos, recipes, and food art top all of them. Let me say that again, YOUR BLOG IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN, HANDS DOWN.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to make this, because my children LOVE YOUR FOOD!
I see a cookbook in your future. And I am not even kidding about that. Keep going, and that is what is in store for you.

I'm so glad you like my blog! I got all teary-eyed after reading your kind words :) Please let me know if you make this if you all like it, and how it went for you! Hope to see you soon in New Mexico!
DeleteP.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You still need to give me a few ideas for a present to buy you :)
DeleteOkay, Samuel just saw this picture, and he said, "Oh! I never had those before! Can you make that kind so I can eat it? [gazing upward into heaven and rubbing his belly] I can just imagine tasting it right now. Can we go to the store and get the 'gredientz (ingredients)?"
ReplyDeleteMe -- "Yes, Samuel, we can go get the ingredients and make this for lunch."
Yay! That makes me so happy! See if you can find a really good vegan chocolate syrup, that might help this not take so long to prepare lol Hope you like it :) Had so much fun talking to you last night!
