Vegan Dessert – Raw Sweet Potato Raspberry Parfaits with ginger whipped cream
Sometimes creativity is all you need to create an amazing new recipe. This little gem of a Vegan Dessert, created by Raw Chef Student, Yasea Love is just bursting with flavor and is sooo nutritious!
Sweet potatoes are loaded with Vitamin A, C, Manganese, Potassium and fiber.
Add to that cinnamon, which helps control blood sugar levels and is antimicrobial, Coconut Oil, (I know I don’t need to tell you the health benefits there) and ginger and you have a complete meal in one little Vegan Dessert.
We can have the most fun with Raw Vegan desserts.
They don’t have to take long to prepare and the really fun thing with Raw Desserts is you don’t really make mistakes. OK it may not turn out how you planned but most raw desserts are salvageable! If you add to much liquid, put in more coconut oil or psyllium husks! If its too dry add more fruit juice. As your not baking anything, you have plenty of chances to correct.
But I think you will agree Yasea got this one just right…. We love it and know you will too!
