Coconut is definitely one of my favorite foods and I love to try all kinds of coconut based products, but the best of those products as a matter of usage and taste are of course coconut oil and coconut flakes, which are also the most popular. Other coconut based products include: coconut butter, coconut flour, coconut sugar, coconut nectar, coconut chips, etc.

Coconut oil is easy to find, you can usually buy it from healthy food stores, but nowadays it can also be found in supermarkets in the healthy products area or in the organic foods section. It is really affordable and has lots of benefits including its antibacterial properties, its large variety of possible uses such as cookies, puddings, raw cakes, smoothies and many more, it is also great for strengthening your immune system, a lovely skin and hair moisturizer, natural deodorant, it can also be used as a base for making natural tooth paste and other wonderful qualities and uses.

Combining the goodness of coconut based products: coconut flakes and coconut oil and the magic of the cashew nuts we get a heavenly tasting dessert experience: a coconut raw roll. Sprinkle it with some cacao nibs and it looks absolutely amazing.

The ingredients for this raw coconut roll are:

1/2 cup cashews

1/2 cup rice flour

1 tbs agave nectar

1/2 tbs lemon peel

2-3 Tbs coconut oil.

We mix those ingredients with a little bit of water, just about enough in order to get a thick, flexible texture which we then spread into a square shape and this will be our crust.

For the roll cream filling we need:

1/2 cashews

1/2 cup water

lemon juice

2-3 Tbs agave nectar

2-3 Tbs coconut oil.

After mixing those ingredients well, we add also some coconut flakes and spread it on top of the crust. We make our roll, decorate it with some more coconut glaze (the coconut cream filling) and sprinkle with some more coconut flakes and cacao nibs for a touch of color. We leave it into the fridge for about 1 hour and then we slice it and enjoy it with our lovely friends and family members.

A touch of coconut is always welcome and coconut goodies are some of my favorite raw desserts. Those delights are definitely a wonderful choice for a healthy and fulfilling sweet treat and also look amazing. Yum!
