I'm not sure if buying chocolate molds and cups was the best or the worst thing that happened to me. I love chocolate. Here are some more beautiful and delicious things that I have made.
I made more chocolate cherries with maca paste. I will buy some rum or amaretto for my next try! I also made a chocolate covered almond butter stuffed fig. I got the idea from Empowered foods. I ordered these lovely choco-almo-nut-but-figs from them before and thought I'd give 'er a go. Yum. I still prefer the chocolate cherries though. The hard chocolate shell with the smoosh and goo inside is a food texture fantasy. It's like being a kid again when I used to eat cherry cordials and cadbury cream eggs.
I also made Rawviolis today with pistachio pesto and jicama. I finally got the jicama sliced thin enough so that it would really look like a ravioli. I took the picture under a pretty yellow light so they don't look white like they should. They were superb.
Another recent item that I have added to my menu is spaghetti squash. My friend introduced it to me as a great raw spaghetti. I hadn't tried it since I have been so content with my zucchini noodles. So good. I don't have any pictures though. I ate it too quickly! : ) I just cut it in half long ways and then used a fork to scrape out the noodley innards. I made a quick tomato sauce and that was it. The second time around I used my left over pesto as the sauce, possible even better.
Xo,
Elizabeth
