makes 12 dates ~ $.24 each
- 1 cup cashews ($.50)
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 tablespoons agave ($.40)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 dates ($2.00)
- candied pecans
In
a small, bullet type blender, process the cashews, water, agave, and
salt until smooth and the constancy of thick cream. Refrigerate for
about an hour to let it firm.
Once firm, split each date and add a dollop of cashew cream to the center. Top with a candied pecan.
Candied pecans are simple to
make. Just coat pecans with a generous amount of agave, with a pinch of
salt and a pinch of cayenne. Then spread them out on a dehydrator sheet
and dehydrate overnight. The agave will be liquid when they’re warm,
but will harden up quite a bit as they cool.

Hello! I’m Lisa, a vegan artist, photographer, author, Vegan Life Coach Educator, and RYT 200 yoga teacher. I love showing others how simple and delicious a plant-based diet can be. I draw and paint, cook, write, take lots of pics, eat lots of chocolate, and practice gratitude daily.
Where do you find a cup of raw cashews for 50 cents?? I haven't seen them for less than $10/lb, even in bulk bins.
What a simple, great idea! They look delicious!
OMGlitter these look delicious!!!
These look amazing! Unfortunately though, agave isn't actually raw – even if the label claims it is. 🙁 You could use Lucuma, Yacon, dates or whole leaf Stevia in it's place. http://www.living-foods.com/articles/agave.html
Whoops, didn't meant to have Yacon in there as it is also not "raw"…
yum candied nuts are spectacular! great recipe! thanks!
