Hi, I am Barbara Nolen
and I would like to introduce
00:00:41.07\00:00:43.84
to you Bev Cook
from North Carolina.
00:00:43.87\00:00:46.42
Hi, Barbara. That's
here to demonstrate some
00:00:46.45\00:00:48.32
wonderful healthy
desserts for us today.
00:00:48.35\00:00:50.56
Yes. I can only wait.
00:00:50.59\00:00:51.84
I think every Americans'
got a sweet to greater
00:00:51.87\00:00:54.71
or lesser degrees, so
it's like how do you meet that
00:00:54.74\00:00:58.24
and still stay healthy.
Well, that's what we're going
00:00:58.27\00:01:00.93
to uncover today. Wonderful.
00:01:00.96\00:01:03.01
Well, what are we
going to be making first?
00:01:03.04\00:01:06.25
Let's make a cheesecake,
it's called just like
00:01:06.28\00:01:08.47
cheesecake and its. Wonderful.
00:01:08.50\00:01:09.73
Really good. Okay,
to make the cheesecake
00:01:09.76\00:01:13.83
for the crust, you need,
2 cups of raw macadamia nuts
00:01:13.86\00:01:17.47
½ cup of dates, pitted
1/4 cup of dried coconut
00:01:17.50\00:01:22.53
And for the
cheese fillings we use
00:01:22.56\00:01:25.76
3 cups of cashews,
there are soaked and chopped
00:01:25.79\00:01:29.68
3/4 cups of lemon
juice 3/4 cups of raw honey
00:01:29.71\00:01:33.55
3/4 cups of coconut
oil 1 tsp. of vanilla
00:01:33.58\00:01:38.41
½ tsp. of sun dried
sea salt And ½ cup of water
00:01:38.44\00:01:42.89
And there is a
raspberry sauce that you put on
00:01:45.01\00:01:46.68
top which is made with;
1 bag of frozen raspberries
00:01:46.71\00:01:49.58
and ½ cup of
dates. Okay. Alright.
00:01:49.61\00:01:55.35
I am really anxious to
show this one to our guests
00:01:55.38\00:01:57.81
today. We are going
to start with the crust,
00:01:57.84\00:02:01.03
and it is very easy.
It's, basically its nuts
00:02:01.06\00:02:05.20
and dates. Oh!
It's gonna be good.
00:02:05.23\00:02:07.46
It is. We do put a
little bit of dried coconut
00:02:07.49\00:02:10.02
just in the bottom,
this is spring-form pan.
00:02:10.05\00:02:14.08
So, when we take it out
it'll set up really nice.
00:02:14.11\00:02:17.67
So, you just put that
coconut on the bottom of the pan
00:02:17.70\00:02:20.85
and that's so it
won't stick on the pan.
00:02:20.88\00:02:23.87
So, we're going to put
the nuts which is macadamia
00:02:23.90\00:02:26.88
nuts I was just a
little bit short of two cups
00:02:26.91\00:02:30.12
so I did for some
almonds in here in that works.
00:02:30.15\00:02:32.85
Okay. Macadamia
nuts basically and then
00:02:32.88\00:02:35.71
this is the date paste
which is whipped up dates,
00:02:35.74\00:02:39.88
of course, medjool dates
and the pits are taken out.
00:02:39.91\00:02:43.22
Okay. So, I am just
going to put that in here
00:02:43.25\00:02:45.08
as well and I am going
to break it up a little bit
00:02:45.11\00:02:48.58
so it'll go right in
the food processor easily.
00:02:48.61\00:02:52.16
And now I put the lid
on and we'll just make
00:02:52.19\00:02:56.03
this into crumbs,
okay, so we'll press into the
00:02:56.06\00:02:59.00
pie pan. Alright.
00:02:59.03\00:03:00.39
That's should be
good, should be a delicious,
00:03:19.31\00:03:21.37
delicious crust
to. Basically I wanted
00:03:21.40\00:03:23.64
to get the dates all
dissipated through the
00:03:23.67\00:03:27.46
nuts, so it'll
press nicely in here.
00:03:27.49\00:03:29.86
It has a consistency
of a gram cracker crust
00:03:33.84\00:03:37.07
only this one's a
little bit chunkier.
00:03:37.10\00:03:38.80
Just press it down.
You can make it finer than
00:03:40.73\00:03:44.50
that if you want. This
is gonna be more of a coarse
00:03:44.53\00:03:48.73
crust. 'Cause dates
make it stick in there,
00:03:48.76\00:03:52.72
pretty good.
You'll see the end product
00:03:52.75\00:03:56.29
when we actually freeze
it, so that'll even make the
00:03:56.32\00:03:59.31
crust a little bit
firmer. Okay, and now we want to
00:03:59.34\00:04:05.13
go on and make the
filling or the cheese, okay,
00:04:05.16\00:04:08.47
to the cheesecake
and I am going to use the
00:04:08.50\00:04:10.90
Vita-Mix here and
put all the different
00:04:10.93\00:04:13.61
ingredients in there. Alright.
00:04:13.64\00:04:15.09
And it'll blend it up.
You can either use the food
00:04:15.12\00:04:17.27
processor or Vita-Mix
either one it does well.
00:04:17.30\00:04:20.59
So, the first is the 3
cups of chopped cashews
00:04:21.85\00:04:26.22
and I did soak
these in water for an hour
00:04:26.25\00:04:29.10
they're a little easier
to blend if they've been
00:04:29.13\00:04:33.20
soaked, and there is
some other good reasons
00:04:33.23\00:04:36.40
to soak your
nuts before you doing,
00:04:36.43\00:04:38.31
mix them more digestible,
it releases enzyme inhibitors
00:04:38.34\00:04:42.61
and it's just a good
habit to get into of soaking
00:04:42.64\00:04:45.93
your nuts before you use it.
00:04:45.96\00:04:47.26
That's one thing
I've learned today,
00:04:47.29\00:04:48.26
perhaps others out
there are learning too,
00:04:48.27\00:04:49.91
that's okay. And
then 3/4 cup of lemon
00:04:49.94\00:04:53.56
juice right
here, put that in here,
00:04:53.59\00:04:57.00
and in addition to
that we will do the
00:04:57.03\00:05:00.09
3/4 cup of honey, okay,
and we do use the raw honey.
00:05:00.12\00:05:04.48
The less cooking
involved and the more nutrients
00:05:04.51\00:05:08.28
there is, okay, just little
bits of heat to work with,
00:05:08.31\00:05:14.90
but it's worth it. And then
also 3/4 cup of coconut oil,
00:05:14.93\00:05:20.55
this actually solidified
a little but the champion
00:05:20.58\00:05:24.30
will have no problem
blending it up. I need actually,
00:05:24.33\00:05:30.66
this just get a little
bit harder than it usually
00:05:32.78\00:05:34.39
does, but I think we will
be able to hopefully manage
00:05:34.42\00:05:37.04
that. Yes. In
addition to the coconut oil,
00:05:37.07\00:05:42.56
coconut butter
we'll put the 1 tsp.
00:05:42.59\00:05:45.01
of vanilla right
here, and then the ½ tsp.
00:05:45.04\00:05:50.54
of sea salt right there,
and then a ½ cup of water,
00:05:50.57\00:05:55.93
and that believe or
not, going to make a cheese
00:05:55.96\00:05:59.45
for the cheesecake. I
don't know how many people
00:05:59.48\00:06:02.28
have made
anything like this before
00:06:02.31\00:06:04.12
but it's interesting.
A different concept.
00:06:04.15\00:06:07.43
Right, let's put the
lid on. It's a rubber lid
00:06:07.46\00:06:12.78
so you have to
catch under both sides.
00:06:12.81\00:06:14.97
And actually the, the
nuts since they've been
00:06:15.00\00:06:20.72
soaked are relatively
easy. I usually parse it
00:06:20.75\00:06:23.32
a little bit first to get
all the ingredients very well
00:06:23.35\00:06:26.74
mixed together and
then I'll leave it on.
00:06:26.77\00:06:28.70
Push them down a little
bit then I'll leave it on.
00:06:33.76\00:06:35.77
It's important to
get it very smooth.
00:07:29.81\00:07:31.16
Yes. I would think.
That's what I love about
00:07:31.19\00:07:34.56
this machine is with
that high powered motor
00:07:34.59\00:07:37.06
it does it quicker, now
if you have just a regular
00:07:37.09\00:07:39.73
blender you probably
have to leave it on two,
00:07:39.76\00:07:41.68
three times as long
as we did with this.
00:07:41.71\00:07:44.35
Okay, I am going to
pour this cheese right in to
00:07:44.38\00:07:49.37
the crust. Its pretty
thick. Just doing this vegan
00:07:49.40\00:07:57.25
cooking it's kind of
important to invest in a
00:07:57.28\00:07:59.36
good blender. It
is I use the blender
00:07:59.39\00:08:02.61
and the food
processor quite a bit at home.
00:08:02.64\00:08:06.46
We change hands
here, you have to really
00:08:06.49\00:08:12.10
get all the batter
from underneath the blade
00:08:12.13\00:08:14.36
in there and this
is very rich batter
00:08:14.39\00:08:17.48
so you don't want
to waste any if you can
00:08:17.51\00:08:20.09
and this really does
satisfy the sweet tooth,
00:08:20.12\00:08:23.69
and it has all
good eye appeal too
00:08:23.72\00:08:25.58
and that's all
finished. People usually think
00:08:25.61\00:08:30.17
well if I get on a
healthy diet I can never have
00:08:30.20\00:08:32.67
cheesecake again,
among other things
00:08:32.70\00:08:35.94
and they're so happy we
run the lifestyle center
00:08:35.97\00:08:39.30
and when people
come and say even
00:08:39.33\00:08:40.65
we can have cheesecake.
I said, there are a lot
00:08:40.68\00:08:43.25
of really good
tasting recipes that you can
00:08:43.28\00:08:45.67
make on the vegan
diet as long as you know
00:08:45.70\00:08:48.42
what's a substitute for what.
00:08:48.45\00:08:50.36
It's so nice to have
someone share recipes
00:08:53.96\00:08:55.78
because that is
the dilemma you have
00:08:55.81\00:08:57.24
when you're learning
to start to cook this way,
00:08:57.27\00:08:58.79
if you only want to
change the way you eat,
00:08:58.82\00:09:00.82
but you need recipes
and there's no way to start
00:09:00.85\00:09:03.88
and also it's nice to
know how to set up your
00:09:03.91\00:09:06.76
cupboards and have
wet ingredients on hand.
00:09:06.79\00:09:10.95
True. I am just going
to spread this cheese right
00:09:10.98\00:09:15.70
here and this is
a spring-form pan.
00:09:15.73\00:09:18.56
And once we put it in
the freezer it will harden
00:09:22.24\00:09:24.97
and then you take
it out about an hour
00:09:25.00\00:09:28.30
before you serve
it, so it we'll fob
00:09:28.33\00:09:31.48
and still hold
its form very well.
00:09:31.51\00:09:34.24
I have gloves on
so I can do this.
00:09:34.27\00:09:36.86
And then we are not
going to actually make this
00:09:36.89\00:09:41.10
sauce but all you do is
in a blender, blend dates
00:09:41.13\00:09:44.16
and frozen raspberries
together and then you
00:09:44.19\00:09:47.67
can swell it on top if you want.
00:09:47.70\00:09:50.60
Beautiful sauce,
isn't it beautiful?
00:09:50.63\00:09:52.09
I think God's
foods are so beautiful,
00:09:52.12\00:09:55.39
lot's of color and
once you get used to eating
00:09:55.42\00:09:58.26
this way, it's like you
really don't want to go back
00:09:58.29\00:10:00.49
to the old way. But
there is somewhat of a
00:10:00.52\00:10:05.89
conversion in the
taste buds and the thinking
00:10:05.92\00:10:09.23
and everything. So, you
can make this salad over
00:10:09.26\00:10:13.22
the top if you want
or kind of marbleize it.
00:10:13.25\00:10:16.13
You could also do
this pie with blueberries.
00:10:18.71\00:10:20.87
That would be excellent too.
00:10:20.90\00:10:22.86
And I'd never made
it with blackberries
00:10:22.89\00:10:24.90
but I certainly don't
know why you wouldn't be
00:10:24.93\00:10:27.57
able to just about any berry.
00:10:27.60\00:10:29.38
Yeah, probably
strawberries, maybe.
00:10:29.41\00:10:31.19
There you go.
Might be thinner though.
00:10:31.22\00:10:34.13
Yeah, you just add
a little more dates
00:10:34.16\00:10:36.61
if you want to thicken it up.
00:10:36.64\00:10:38.36
It looks delicious.
So, then we're going to go
00:10:38.39\00:10:41.27
put this in the freezer
and freeze it for about 8 hours
00:10:41.30\00:10:46.06
and then after
that, take it out.
00:10:46.09\00:10:48.34
Let it thaw for an hour
you be ready to serve it.
00:10:48.37\00:10:51.09
Oh! Fantastic. That's
going to be a recipe your family
00:10:51.12\00:10:55.22
and company will
love. It's pretty rich,
00:10:55.25\00:10:57.23
but it's good. So what
we are going to make next?
00:10:57.26\00:11:00.84
Well, next we are going
to look into the easy mint
00:11:00.87\00:11:04.10
carob pudding pie.
Oh! That's sound good.
00:11:04.13\00:11:07.05
And the
ingredients are; for the crust:
00:11:07.08\00:11:10.48
1 cup of almonds 1 cup of pecans
00:11:10.51\00:11:14.35
1 cup of walnuts 1 ½
cups of Medjool dates, pitted
00:11:14.38\00:11:20.45
½ tsp. of sea salt
And 1 tsp. of vanilla
00:11:20.48\00:11:25.15
And for the filling
we use: 2 ripe avocados
00:11:27.89\00:11:31.35
½ cup maple
syrup 2 tsp. psyllium
00:11:31.38\00:11:35.92
½ cup carob
powder 2-3 drops of mint
00:11:35.95\00:11:40.77
Now, this is interesting
Bev we're using avocados
00:11:43.42\00:11:46.81
to make a pie Yes,
it's a new thought for
00:11:46.84\00:11:49.22
most people. Yes, I am sure
00:11:49.25\00:11:51.29
it's good though,
so what do you do here?
00:11:51.32\00:11:53.23
Well, like other
recipes why don't
00:11:53.26\00:11:55.98
we start with a
crust first. Okay.
00:11:56.01\00:11:57.71
And this one has three
different types of nuts.
00:11:57.74\00:12:00.10
It has a cup of each type
of nut. Here is the cup of
00:12:00.13\00:12:03.20
almonds and we are
using it in the food processor
00:12:03.23\00:12:06.33
with the F blade that
blends things really well,
00:12:06.36\00:12:10.21
and then a cut of pecans
top of that and then also a
00:12:10.24\00:12:15.68
cup of walnuts. Actually
they want us to blend the
00:12:15.71\00:12:18.50
first few nuts into
the flour and then add,
00:12:18.53\00:12:22.22
so let's do that.
00:12:22.25\00:12:23.22
So, you just get
real till it's almost a
00:12:23.23\00:12:35.65
flour consistency.
Then I will add that cup of
00:12:35.68\00:12:42.95
walnuts, and I am
going to add the salt and the
00:12:42.98\00:12:49.54
vanilla as well, it's a
sea salt, and then the vanilla.
00:12:49.57\00:12:57.21
Okay, there you go. I
am gonna blend that up a
00:12:57.24\00:13:06.03
little bit, and then I will
add the dates last. Just zip
00:13:06.06\00:13:09.26
this through the
food processor one or two
00:13:09.29\00:13:11.97
times. Now, if we put it
in the pie pan just as is, it
00:13:12.00\00:13:20.18
would be too powdery,
there's nothing to bind it
00:13:20.21\00:13:22.60
together, so I am
using the date paste which is
00:13:22.63\00:13:26.68
pretty soften dates
with the pits taken out, and
00:13:26.71\00:13:30.15
then that'll cause all
this nuts and other ingredients
00:13:30.18\00:13:33.82
to stick together.
So, you actually buy that
00:13:33.85\00:13:35.50
as a paste. And I
buy a lot of these
00:13:35.53\00:13:38.49
ingredients from
Country Life Natural Foods, and
00:13:38.52\00:13:41.34
they have the date
paste, it's very reasonable too.
00:13:41.37\00:13:44.26
I always keep an eye, an eye on
00:13:44.29\00:14:05.32
the batter to make
sure all the big pieces are.
00:14:05.35\00:14:09.04
To see the texture.
Yes and see the texture
00:14:09.07\00:14:11.27
both, so that's look
pretty good. Now this is a small
00:14:11.30\00:14:14.67
pie, it's pretty good. You
can eat it just like that, it's
00:14:14.70\00:14:19.16
a small pie pan here
but I am going to push this
00:14:19.19\00:14:21.79
down, and it'll be just
fine, and I hate to waste
00:14:21.82\00:14:28.94
any of these nuts, you
want to eat them down to
00:14:28.97\00:14:30.78
the last.
Smells really good too.
00:14:30.81\00:14:33.24
Now some people I know
were only supposed to eat
00:14:33.27\00:14:39.31
nuts sparingly because
they're a little bit high and
00:14:39.34\00:14:42.24
fat, but we don't actually
eat nuts as a snack per say
00:14:42.27\00:14:46.51
because I do use them
in cooking a lot, cooking
00:14:46.54\00:14:49.82
and food preparation.
So these meals are so
00:14:49.85\00:14:54.10
concentrated with
nutrients and fiber that it
00:14:54.13\00:14:57.95
holds you, the meals do
'cause you know this pie
00:14:57.98\00:15:00.77
isn't going to be meal
in and of itself, this would
00:15:00.80\00:15:03.94
be a dessert, and we
only have a dessert may be
00:15:03.97\00:15:08.08
once a week, and then of
course at holidays we like
00:15:08.11\00:15:12.00
to make things
special, but because we do use
00:15:12.03\00:15:16.29
nuts and some of our
dressings and our cheeses
00:15:16.32\00:15:19.37
that we make. Now this
crust that's going to be
00:15:19.40\00:15:24.44
good enough, we don't
have to have any other
00:15:24.47\00:15:26.59
nuts for snacks. And we
use all kinds of nuts, pine
00:15:26.62\00:15:31.31
nuts, almonds,
macadamia nuts, but we
00:15:31.34\00:15:35.00
do use them in a raw
form. We don't do the
00:15:35.03\00:15:37.18
roasted and salted
ones. Okay, I am trying to
00:15:37.21\00:15:41.76
make a little well in
there for the filing, and if you
00:15:41.79\00:15:46.31
had another favorite
filling, and here you
00:15:46.34\00:15:49.42
could use that, and that
actually will firm up once
00:15:49.45\00:15:53.97
it's in the refrigerator.
Okay, yes. Why don't we
00:15:54.00\00:15:57.89
move onto the filling now.
00:15:57.92\00:15:59.23
Okay. And people always ask what
00:15:59.26\00:16:02.43
is your secret ingredient
and just to be upfront its
00:16:02.46\00:16:05.55
the avocados. So let's
start with the two large
00:16:05.58\00:16:10.67
ripe avocados, and you
always they're ripe when
00:16:10.70\00:16:14.74
they give a little.
Have you worked with
00:16:14.77\00:16:18.93
avocados very much.
Yes quite a bit, I love
00:16:18.96\00:16:21.97
avocados. These are the Hass
00:16:22.00\00:16:24.66
avocados, now there is
the Big Florida avocados
00:16:24.69\00:16:28.97
which would be nice for
this recipe because it has
00:16:29.00\00:16:31.53
a lot of avocado flesh,
but the Haas really have a
00:16:31.56\00:16:36.13
little more taste in
my opinion. Open those up.
00:16:36.16\00:16:41.71
I make guacamole a
lot, but they are used to
00:16:41.74\00:16:44.55
making a pie filling. Okay.
00:16:44.58\00:16:46.75
So this will be
new, new for me to try.
00:16:46.78\00:16:49.12
This is the cream part
of the pudding thing, and
00:16:49.15\00:16:53.28
of course avocados don't
have a real strong taste,
00:16:53.31\00:16:56.62
so the other ingredients
are going to override the
00:16:56.65\00:17:01.13
avocado taste and
that's why people don't even
00:17:01.16\00:17:04.01
know it's in there, and it
basically gives its texture.
00:17:04.04\00:17:08.22
Nice creamy. And
shiny, so let's take
00:17:08.25\00:17:12.13
the pits out of these,
those are nice and ripe, and
00:17:12.16\00:17:20.87
that's exactly what you
want. Put these in here.
00:17:20.90\00:17:26.04
This is another pie
that's fairly rich when you
00:17:26.07\00:17:31.78
served it you just
usually people would prefer just
00:17:31.81\00:17:35.72
to have a slice because
it's rich but still these are
00:17:35.75\00:17:41.51
good healthy pies, and
it's nice to be able to eat a
00:17:41.54\00:17:45.64
dessert and not have a
guilty conscious or have
00:17:45.67\00:17:48.73
that anchored feeling
after a meal, and you just
00:17:48.76\00:17:53.49
feel very satisfied, and
I think that's the way the
00:17:53.52\00:17:56.20
Lord intended, just to
be satisfied. So that's the
00:17:56.23\00:18:00.38
avocado and after the
avocado we are going to
00:18:00.41\00:18:05.60
put the half cup of
maple syrup in here, that will
00:18:05.63\00:18:09.96
give it a lot of shine.
If for some reason you're
00:18:09.99\00:18:13.05
diabetic whatever and
can't use maple syrup you
00:18:13.08\00:18:16.43
can use some dates.
Depends on how sensitive
00:18:16.46\00:18:20.56
the diabetic is, but if
you have plenty of fiber often
00:18:20.59\00:18:24.27
they can tolerate it. Really.
00:18:24.30\00:18:25.96
And then in addition
to that we will put two
00:18:25.99\00:18:31.19
teaspoons of psyllium
right here and that is also
00:18:31.22\00:18:35.02
a thickener, psyllium,
and then the one half cup of
00:18:35.05\00:18:39.47
carob powder, this is
very healthy ingredient, its
00:18:39.50\00:18:43.10
very high in calcium. Really.
00:18:43.13\00:18:45.67
And people often are
looking for some good
00:18:45.70\00:18:49.31
calcium source. So now
we'll blend these together
00:18:49.34\00:18:54.57
and I'll add the two or
three drops of peppermint
00:18:54.60\00:18:58.29
oil after I get this
going. Okay, we'll snap the
00:18:58.32\00:19:05.55
rubber top on,
there we go, that's a very
00:19:05.58\00:19:11.05
important step.
So we don't need it
00:19:11.08\00:19:13.06
flinging around
everywhere, do we.
00:19:13.09\00:19:14.06
Tamper in, and this
tamper won't hit the
00:19:14.07\00:19:16.26
blades because of this.
00:19:16.29\00:19:17.72
I think I'll put
the peppermint in. Okay,
00:19:44.15\00:19:46.22
that looks very dark and rich.
00:19:46.25\00:19:48.07
Yes, if you want. I
think I'm going to like this.
00:19:48.10\00:19:50.24
I am just putting about
three drops in here. If you
00:19:50.27\00:19:55.41
want a more like a
milk chocolate looking pie,
00:19:55.44\00:19:59.81
you can even cut your
carob in half. I'm going to
00:19:59.84\00:20:03.63
mix this a little more, and then
00:20:03.66\00:20:04.95
we'll pour it in here. Okay.
00:20:04.98\00:20:06.61
Alright, I think that
should do it, and then
00:20:22.04\00:20:25.99
we'll pour it in there and
we'll be finished with this
00:20:26.02\00:20:27.99
recipe. You could just
use the carob as a pudding if
00:20:28.02\00:20:31.92
you wanted, if you didn't
really want to put it into
00:20:31.95\00:20:34.56
the crust. Doesn't pour
real easy because of that
00:20:34.59\00:20:43.85
psyllium. I can smell mint.
00:20:43.88\00:20:49.69
Can you? Yeah, smells good.
00:20:49.72\00:20:51.76
Then we'll spread it out
once I get it out of here.
00:20:51.79\00:21:01.92
You could even use
spearmint if you wanted,
00:21:01.95\00:21:05.72
but I like the
peppermint, you should think of
00:21:05.75\00:21:08.74
peppermint with
chocolate or in this case
00:21:08.77\00:21:12.06
carob. You could find
some blue mint leaves for
00:21:12.09\00:21:20.24
garnish on top if you
want it. Yeah, that be
00:21:20.27\00:21:21.61
great. Yeah, I found
that if you have on hand a few
00:21:21.64\00:21:26.79
healthy desserts or
snack items that are good for
00:21:26.82\00:21:30.76
you, it's much easier to
get off of sugar, but you
00:21:30.79\00:21:34.64
need to find a few
that you like and have them
00:21:34.67\00:21:36.62
always on hand, and
they're not addictive like
00:21:36.65\00:21:41.95
the other types are
which is a big plus.
00:21:41.98\00:21:45.52
Yes, indeed.
Okay, so we just spread
00:21:45.55\00:21:48.08
that around. I'm
sure there is lot of
00:21:48.11\00:21:51.99
chocoholics out
there. Yes, they would
00:21:52.02\00:21:54.55
appreciate this.
They would appreciate
00:21:54.58\00:21:55.55
that. Yes. Okay,
that's basically it.
00:21:55.56\00:21:59.10
Oh, well it
looks delicious. Good.
00:21:59.13\00:22:01.31
And what we are
going to do next.
00:22:01.34\00:22:03.69
I think our final one is
the raspberry dream date nut
00:22:03.72\00:22:07.74
torte. That sounds delicious.
00:22:07.77\00:22:09.78
Okay. To make the
raspberry dream date nut
00:22:09.81\00:22:14.73
torte, you use two
cups of walnuts, two cups of
00:22:14.76\00:22:18.54
organic raisins, and for
the torte frosting you'll
00:22:18.57\00:22:22.53
use one cup of dates,
and one half lemon, juiced.
00:22:22.56\00:22:26.07
Okay Bev, let's
make our raspberry torte.
00:22:26.10\00:22:29.85
Okay, I have already had
a good start on it Barbara.
00:22:29.88\00:22:32.96
All I did was I blend it
together, actually I put it
00:22:32.99\00:22:35.87
in a food processor,
the walnuts and the raisins
00:22:35.90\00:22:38.92
and it made the base
of the torte, and you just
00:22:38.95\00:22:42.82
blend it until it looks
very pliable. And now I am
00:22:42.85\00:22:46.60
going to put dates, this
is the date paste again, I am
00:22:46.63\00:22:50.71
really big on that, and
then the lemon juice of a
00:22:50.74\00:22:54.72
half lemon and dates in
here, break up a little bit
00:22:54.75\00:22:58.71
and blend it together,
that's pretty easy. Yes.
00:22:58.74\00:23:03.00
Walnuts are also good
for depression, have you
00:23:03.03\00:23:06.34
heard that. No, I
haven't heard that.
00:23:06.37\00:23:07.99
Yeah, so here we go.
00:23:08.02\00:23:10.93
wasn't a whole lot of
batter in there, so I am
00:23:23.20\00:23:25.60
going to press that down
a little bit into the blades
00:23:25.63\00:23:29.31
again. I guess
if the walnuts are
00:23:29.34\00:23:33.85
good for depression, a
lot of American need it.
00:23:33.88\00:23:36.65
They do, they do.
00:23:36.68\00:23:38.62
Well, I think
they're mixed in there.
00:23:49.10\00:23:51.02
Now it's just a matter of
getting it out and you just
00:23:52.95\00:23:55.65
use this kind of like a
frosting on the top of the
00:23:55.68\00:23:58.92
torte. Okay.
Dates and anything are
00:23:58.95\00:24:05.29
good actually. Then the
last thing after I spread
00:24:05.32\00:24:12.20
this on is put the
raspberries on and you
00:24:12.23\00:24:16.28
can chill it a little,
it'll firm up once you chill it.
00:24:16.31\00:24:19.42
It's a little bit hard
to work with, with a knives
00:24:19.45\00:24:23.74
or even a spreader, so
I use the gloved hands.
00:24:23.77\00:24:28.17
That date paste is a
wonderful product. Okay,
00:24:28.20\00:24:37.05
I'll just put a few
dates, raspberries on top, put a
00:24:37.08\00:24:42.05
few and of course if
you know you're artistic you
00:24:42.08\00:24:45.24
can arrange them beautifully.
00:24:45.27\00:24:46.85
Well it looks wonderful,
and it is time for us to
00:24:46.88\00:24:50.82
take a short break, and
we will come back to show
00:24:50.85\00:24:52.84

We hoped you enjoyed
today's program with Bev

00:26:18.93\00:26:23.02
a look at our
finished recipes with Bev.
00:26:23.05\00:26:25.60
Welcome back, Bev,
would you like to show
00:26:34.77\00:26:36.69
us the finish
products. I would be glad to.
00:26:36.72\00:26:40.75
The first one we
started was with the just like
00:26:40.78\00:26:44.06
cheese cake, it's made
with a lot of cashews, so
00:26:44.09\00:26:47.06
its rich with nuts, but
it sure is tasty. And then
00:26:47.09\00:26:50.88
when we finish making
that we went into the easy
00:26:50.91\00:26:54.30
carob pudding pie, you
can make this pudding by
00:26:54.33\00:26:57.80
itself or in a crust like
we did, and that's beautiful
00:26:57.83\00:27:00.86
for company, it
has nice eye appeal.
00:27:00.89\00:27:03.42
Yes, it does. And
then the last one we
00:27:03.45\00:27:05.74
made was the raspberry
nut date torte, and that's
00:27:05.77\00:27:10.74
very easy too, you
know its just a matter of
00:27:10.77\00:27:13.10
blending and then putting
your berries on top. It's a
00:27:13.13\00:27:16.12
really good recipe
Barbara, and as long as
00:27:16.15\00:27:18.35
you don't sit down and
eat the whole pie, its really
00:27:18.38\00:27:20.56
not fattening, and
one piece will keep you
00:27:20.59\00:27:22.90
satisfied for hours, and
that applies for all these
00:27:22.93\00:27:25.45
pies. Wonderful, thank you Bev
00:27:25.48\00:27:28.45
for coming and
demonstrating these
00:27:28.48\00:27:30.06
wonderful desserts for
us. And I want to invite you
00:27:30.09\00:27:32.84
to come back and
watch with us next
00:27:32.87\00:27:35.06
time in Let's Cook Together.
