Well, I had a box of medjool dates left over from my last
“raw” cooking kick, so I thought I’d try something that I’ve been thinking
about for a little while. While these don’t taste anything like Oreos, they
look a bit like them and they’re kind of delicious in their own way. I’m a sugar
addict, I’m not going to go all “clean” on you guys and say how these taste
even better than the real thing. They don’t, BUT they’re actually pretty damn
delicious, and sweetly flavourful.
The biscuit-y bit is actually really similar to those Nakd
bars – the only one I like (choc orange). I think the little addition of bits
of ginger chocolate gives it a real pop and works well with the orange. I’m a
fan.
Raw cooking is something which I’m just dipping my toes
into, and adjusting to my own tastes. Feel free to play around with the
flavours, or just leave the ginger choc/zest out entirely. The other great
thing about these is that you don’t need the filling, you could easily roll
them a bit thicker (like an inch) and just eat them as-is. Versatile and yummy!
