How to Prepare Raw Berry Napoleons [Vegan]
- In a food processor combine the coconut, cashews, lime zest and salt. Pulse to create a fine meal.
- 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.
- Press into a thin rectangle - approximately 1/4" thick - on a Teflex sheet and dehydrate for 6 hours at 110 degrees.
- 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.
- In a blender combine the strawberries, agave, lime juice and raw cashews. Blend until smooth.
- 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.
- Chill in the refrigerator until firm (approximately 2 hours).
- On a larger serving platter (or four small plates) place four macaroon cookies. Pipe or spread a thin layer of strawberry cream.
- Add a layer of fresh berries. Repeat each layer.
- Top with a third macaroon cookie and a thin layer of strawberry cream. Serve immediately.
