How to Prepare Raw Berry Napoleons [Vegan]

Macaroon Cookies
  1. In a food processor combine the coconut, cashews, lime zest and salt. Pulse to create a fine meal.
  2. Add the maple syrup and lime juice and pulse until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pinched between your thumb and index finger.
  3. Press into a thin rectangle - approximately 1/4" thick - on a Teflex sheet and dehydrate for 6 hours at 110 degrees.
  4. Remove from the Teflex sheet, score into 12 rectangles and continue to dehydrate for 6 additional hours. The final texture should be firm but pliable.
Strawberry Cream
  1. In a blender combine the strawberries, agave, lime juice and raw cashews. Blend until smooth.
  2. Add the coconut oil and chia seeds. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid. Blend until smooth.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator until firm (approximately 2 hours).
Assemble
  1. On a larger serving platter (or four small plates) place four macaroon cookies. Pipe or spread a thin layer of strawberry cream.
  2. Add a layer of fresh berries. Repeat each layer.
  3. Top with a third macaroon cookie and a thin layer of strawberry cream. Serve immediately.
