Abundance of strawberries
How good are strawberries? Juicy, summery and sweetly delicious, they are one of our favourite fruits! Australia is experiencing an abundance of strawberries, right now, and they are a lot cheaper than usual! Our one year old Harvey absolutely loves strawberries, so we have been buying them by the punnet load! All of this strawberry abundance got us thinking: what kind of deliciousness could we create with strawberries?
The first thing that sprung to mind was chocolate. Strawberries + chocolate = match made in heaven. But even so, it was hard to decide between a raw strawberry cheesecake, strawberry popsicles, a vanilla and strawberry swirl cake. So many possibilities!
So we’ve created an epic combination: a raw strawberry and chocolate slice! Its got a delicious coconut chocolate base, a creamy strawberry centre and is topped with more Paleo chocolate! It’s basically a strawberry chocolate sandwich!
Now, layered raw desserts look impressive, but are actually easy peasy to make. All you really need is a strong food processor/blender and a freezer!
Berry good for you!
And of course strawberries are good for you, being a fruit and all, but we found out some fun facts. They are nutrient dense, and packed with antioxidants. They have loads of vitamins and minerals such as folate, potassium, manganese, dietary fibre, and magnesium. They are also extremely high in vitamin C!
Paleo Dessert Lovers
We are utterly obsessed with creating and making raw treats, but we don’t really love having them in our freezer! Why? Because we find they don’t last very long in this house! So we prefer to make them to take to an event/family thing. That way we can enjoy a piece but not find ourselves devouring the entire thing. Its a sneaky way of controlling portions!
If you love Paleo desserts, don’t forget to check out our other treats! We have Drool worthy sticky date pudding, Guilt free chocolate cookies, Fruit n nut chocolate and loads more! We also have a free facebook group called Paleo Dessert Lovers, where we share dessert recipes from all over. Come and join the fun!
