Carrot Fake

Oh hey girl, hey. Been a while. I've been making a lot of random sub-par foodstuffs lately, mostly from unwanted food waste, and nothing worth blogging about.  This recently recurring recipe is a change of pace. So hey, why not put it on the internet. Note that it's not original. Stealz. But tasty.  Most convenient this tasty dessert requires no cooking - because who can wait for sugary goodness?

The Fake Part
3 cups shredded carrots
1 cup pitted dates
1 cup walnuts
2/3 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt


The Top Part
2 cups raw cashews, soaked
2/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
juice from 1/2 lemon

In a food processor, shred carrots. Switch blades, add the remaining ingredients and smoosh until well chopped and mixed but still identifiable objects. Spread into the bottom of a bread pan or pie dish. Don't wash your food processor. But in all the top part ingredients and mix until its as liquid and smooth as it with get. If you need to add extra water to get it smoother go for it, but the intent is for it to be a self-supported goo so don't go too wild.  Once smooth, spread on top of what is in your pan. Then immediately take it back out of the pan and put it in your mouth.
