Curd cheese crêpe (1st course)
2nd place: PureRaw Recipe Competition 2015, RawFood Award
"Grandma's favorite Christmas recipe"
Winner: Kristin K.
... It was actually not that hard for me to figure out what Grandma’s and my favorite dishes were at Christmastime.
When I visited my grandma as a child, there was always plenty to eat. She wanted to please everyone :-)
Therefore, I truly hope that this version impresses you just as much as it did me and my loved ones, who were able to enjoy this raw food variation as test tasters :-)
Ingredients
for 1 person
For the dough:
- 1 banana
Optional:
- Lucuma powder
- Carob powder (for a delicious caramel note)
- Reishi powder
- Cinnamon and vanilla powder (to taste)
Mix the very ripe banana with the rest of the ingredients in a personal blender.
Spread onto parchment paper in the shape of a crêpe.
(I let it dry on the tiled stove for several days, as I unfortunately do not have a dehydrator.)
For the filling:
- 1 tbsp cashew-date cream (see below)
- 1 tbsp soaked raisins (alternatively: honey-sweet mulberries)
- 1 tbsp chopped hazelnuts
- 1 small apple, grated
Mix everything except for the cashew cream.
As soon as the crêpe dough has dried, spread 1 tbsp of cashew cream and then add the filling on top.
Roll it up and your delicious raw "Topfen" (curd) crêpe is ready :-) !
Notes:
* Please take the drying time into account.
* It is best to enjoy or serve it immediately, otherwise it will get quite soggy.
Cashew-Date Cream
- 100 g soaked cashew nuts, broken
- 100 g water
- 1 tbsp date paste (alternatively: 2-3 dates)
- Cinnamon (type: Ceylon, to taste)
Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, and it's ready!
