Just Gimme Desserts
Yesterday when I clicked to read Carmi's "Recipe of the Week: Persimmon & Coconut Cream Parfait", I sure was in for a wonderful treat! The first thing I saw was a pic of my "Just Desserts" ebook cover -Yowsa! That girl, I tell ya...I had no idea she was planning such a surprise, Hehe! 😀 I think I actually jumped in my chair, and before reading anything, I emailed her to express my excitement. As I read through her post, my thoughts of the book got pushed to the back of my brain when I saw what she has been up to in the kitchen lately. I'm positive you've already seen, but if not, check out her amazing parfait (Im hoping for one of those in a few weeks during my next visit, as I love persimmons), and even more importantly (this is the chocolate obsession in me), check out the final picture of her chocolate and vanilla charlotte!!!!!! YummmO! Can't wait for that recipe.
2 tbs agave
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Press into the bottom of an 8 or 9" spring form pan.
Filling:
2 cups fresh concorde grape juicePour the filling over the crust. Chill in the fridge or freezer until set.
1/2 cup concorde grape juice
Puree all ingredients, including the chia seeds, leaving a little bit of texture.
The bottom line is: Just Gimme Desserts- plain, or beautified on a plate. Either way, I'm a happy camper! (Note: Yes, I enjoyed eating this chocolate creme with a wisk, strait outta the mixing bowl but fear not, this dessert didn't get fed to anyone else but me 😉

I think you're amazing! Congratulations on the ebook!
Can't wait to get the ebook! I love your photographs. I didn't see an email for you,but did wanna ask you if you face any weight gain problems eating a lot of raw desserts. i'm 100% raw, but this is a question of some of my blog readers and I don't eat/make a lot of raw desserts so I didn't feel equipped to answer. Plus, I also wanna know!! <br /><br />Check out my blog sometime! www.rawfitmama.blogspot.com<br /><br />Keep shining!
Hehe... I caught you off guard, eh? All this talk about it being 'nearly finished' and here it is. ;-) <br /><br />Ohhhhhh, that new dessert looks fab! Love the presentation! I don't think I've ever had fresh concord grapes. Mmmmmmm<br /><br />Glad you posted that pic of you with the chocolate cream; it's priceless!
Those cupcakes are totally cute, much cuter than mine. They are shaped so perfectly.<br /><br />That concord grape dessert looks lovely. I'll have to try it.<br /><br />Congrats on the book :-)
Congrats on the ebook! That cake recipe sounds amazing! Cute pic of you as well.
Thanks gals - im suuuuper excited about the book too! :)<br /><br />fitmamma - in answer to your question, no, I haven't experienced any specific weight gain from eating desserts (and without fail, I DO eat them every single day :) - At the same time, Im carrying more weight than I'd like, because I sometimes go overboard on the desserts (emotional eating)- I'm sure that if I only ate 1 piece of dessert every day, I'd be my ideal weight - rather than 2 or 3 pieces! :D Hope that helps!<br /><br />Carmi - oooh girlie, i wish I could bring you some concorde grapies, or a piece of the cheesecake. They are totally different in taste than regular red/green ones. I can't wait to celebrate next weekend! Wooo hooo!!!<br /><br />Shannon - i totally had fun making the cupcakes (and eating them too!!!) I have a few more ideas in mind - i see now, how easy it is to get on a cupcake roll like you have! <br /><br />Lauren - thanks, you must try the cake! Mmm! LOL, thanks, I sure had fun chowing down on that chocolate creme :D
I want your book! waiting paitently.. well,not really!<br />deb
