Receta Rawfully Tempting 'Nilla Fingers
Oh Yeah!!! Very simple to look at, nothing fancy, but chock full of decadent vanilla chewiness and sweet, creamy filling.
I was trying to duplicate "Vienna Fingers" we ate growing up. I won't say they taste exactly like them. Nope, but I have to say I think these taste way BETTER. I'm a chocolate person, but these have such an incredible 'nilla flavor, I found them addictive!!!!
'Nilla Fingers
- 1cup almonds (soaked overnight and peeled)
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts
- 1/2 cup water (as needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 4 drops Medicine Flower Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest or 1 drop Medicine Flower Lemon Extract
- 1/4 cup raw honey (or your favorite sweetener)
- 1 Tbsp ground golden flax seed
- 2 Tbsp almond flour (or almond pulp)
- pinch sea salt
- Cream Filling
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut, finely ground
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or 3 drops Medicine Flower Vanilla Extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice or 1 drop Medicine Flower Lemon Extract
- 1 - 3 Tbsp water (as needed to thin)
- 2 Tbsp honey (or your favorite liquid sweetener) to taste
Cookie Preparation
Blend nuts and water well. Add remaining ingredients and blend until very creamy.
Pour onto non-stick dehydrator sheet and spread with offset spatula - about 1/8" thick.
Dehydrate at 145 degrees for 1.5 hours and turn down to 105 degrees another 8 hours.
Flip onto mesh dehydrator tray and peel off non-stick sheet. Cut into strips, about 1/2 - 3/4 inch wide and then into finger sized rectangles (equal in size). Option: use a small circle cookie cutter and make rounds.
Dehydrate another 6-8 hours, flipping over once.
Cream Filling Preparation
Process shredded coconut in a spice or coffee grinder until a fine powder.
Transfer to a bowl and add remaining ingredients, adding only enough water to make spreadable.
Assembly
Spread small amount of Cream on each cookie and dehydrate for several hours.
Press two cookies together, kreme inside and dehydrate several hours. They should be dry on outside, but still chewy.
Option: No Cream..just plain wafers are delicious. (See square cookies below).
BEWARE: These are addictive!
