G.D. Sweetener & Kreme Broolay

Yes, the spelling for the following recipes are silly - but I promise you that these simple treats deserve to be taken seriously (with a smile of course). Even my uber picky non-vegan husband tried the desert and said: 'S good Honey - I'm impressed.
Yay for hubby-likes-it-points!

I have to start this post out by sharing what I've been using for a liquid sweetener as of late - in my effort to banish Agave from my kitchen.
I call it Golden-Date Sweetener - and it's SUPER easy.


(Not the actual raisins that I used)

Golden Date (or G.D.) Sweetener
1 C Golden Raisins
7 Medjool Dates (pits removed)
Fully cover Raisins/Dates in warm water. Soak for about 15 minutes. 
Place Raisins and Dates in food processor or blender with 3/4 Cup of the soaking water. Blend for about 5 minutes, Store in Refrigerator.

Side note: One of the reasons why I chose to use Golden Raisins is because of their tart, almost honey-like flavor. Paired with Dates they create a very mellow slightly tart and fragrant flavor.
EDIT: The Golden Raisins I use are actually slightly green in coloring, and have not been blanched or flame dried.

Now on to the more important subject...
I now give you MY raw/vegan take on a desert classic:
