Macadamia Nut Cream Berry Parfait - Raw Dessert

This is a raw vegan dessert. That white creamy lusciousness only looks like dairy.

I love making this cream. It's a great cupcake frosting, fruit topping, and pie accompainment. You can add some cacao or cocoa powder for a rich chocolate pudding.

Soak 2 cups raw macadamia nuts for 2 to 4 hours. Drain.

Add to a blender with:
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 to 1/2 cup agave nectar depending on how sweet you like your cream. (or us 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup to replace agave).
1/2 cup water

Blend on high speed until creamy. Blend for at least a few minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of blender periodically.

Top with your choice of fresh fruit.

*Note, this cream also comes out fabulous with cashews!

For weight loss, this is a great snack or healthy dessert. Very helpful in weaning you off ice cream!
