Coonlie!!!

You've done it again!!!

That pizza looks incredible! What a great idea to use the zucchini cracker recipe as base. (We are talking about the same one, right? The one in the bread section?)

Just made some veggie herb crust so pizza should be on the menu sometime next week. Yay!

Yes, Carmella, it's the zucchini cracker recipe that you posted here awhile back. I really like it as crackers, too, but decided to try some variations and make a pizza crust. It was tasty and held up pretty well with the toppings, too. Glad it looks good to you! It was!

Thanks, FG. They were impressed. It was fun.

They said, "You could serve this to anyone and they would like it! They would never know it's good for you!"

I know what you mean... But this is just an extra step, really. Blender/food processor to container. Then pop in the freezer to set, then voila!

that is a good point. perhaps one day.

Carmella · #26 09-27-2007, 05:23 PM

Wow, Tracy! Your chocolate candies look wonderful! I love the different shapes, makes them so professional looking.

Great job!

Coonlie · #27 09-27-2007, 06:43 PM

I second that Tracy. May I ask what recipe you used? I've only tried candy once or twice and have not liked the taste or texture of the molded candies I've done.
Thanks!

Thanks Carmella and Coonlie.

These are so easy to make but they are hard to keep around.

Here is the recipe

1 c. coconut oil
1/2 c. raw cashew butter or almond butter
1/3 c. agave
1/8 c. raw carob powder
1/2 c. cacao nibs or carob powder
10 drops peppermint essential oil or peppermint flavoring

Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour into molds or a pan; freeze for at least 30 minutres before serving.

I learned that you do want to oil your molds a bit. Makes it much easier to get them out.
I used all carob powder because I will not give my kids cacao. I also used almond butter. These are so good. I actually have to hide them because everyone eats them so quickly.

I know you are gonna love them. Let me know what you think.
