Hidden Gem Macaroons
These are basic cacao macaroons with fresh (or organic frozen ones) cherries inside, for a soft and completely melt-in-your-mouth and make you grin ecstatically surprise!
3 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
1/2 cup agave ( maple syrup, honey or yacon would work also- pick your sweetener!)
1 teaspoon celtic sea salt
1-2 heaping tablespoons cacao powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
optional: a spoonful of coconut butter
Mix all ingredients together by hand in a bowl and chill for a bit to make them stick together better when you drop them by spoonfuls onto the dehydrator trays. They go faster without the teflex sheet underneath, so that's why chilling is helpful.
It's also really yummy as wet "dough" (and honestly i'm not crazy about dehydrated food, so often just eat this as is. . . use as topping for banana ice cream, use as grawnola in the morning. . .
If you dehydrate them, 115 for however long it takes until they're how you like them, usually just a few hours for crispy on the outside and soft on the inside PERFECT macaroons! (They'll harden a bit when you let them cool so keep that in mind)
Enjoy. . . and try not to horde them all, 'tis the season of sharing (but i was alone in the house the past two days and had the whole batch to myself!!!!!!!Yippeeeee)

I love the idea of tossing a cherry inside. Awesome. I will have to try this.

I love cherries. When I was pregnant with my son, they were my biggest craving. I actually bought $40 worth of them and ate them in one sitting (well, it's better for you than pickles and ice cream).
I make these macaroons all the time. A cherry inside would be a lovely surprise. Sometimes the simplest changes to a recipe really puts it over the top. Thanks :-)

Just a question - is "coconut" raw when it is in bags in the supermarket? I know you can buy sweetened/unsweetened/toasted, but if it is just "unsweetened" in the bag is it raw? Or do I have to buy it at the health food store in bulk?

I like to do fasts as well and I think the power in fasting is that its a remedial action, one part of the process of purifiying. For instance if you feel you have a lot of non-virtuous residue or spiritual obstacles to remove, you generate regret...

Loren,
Was your fast that regained your health a supervised one, and with whom? How long was your fast? What did you eat like before that?

don't agree with the whole raw food creating a damp environment thing because of the wildly different effects of different raw foods. i've found candida to respond to 100% raw, several different approaches.
it would be interesting Mica...
