When I was 18 years old my friend opened a Raw Food Restaurant in Encinitas, California. It was then that I fell in love with Raw Food and cultivated a deep sense of appreciation for the life force in foods that are untouched and in their natural state. This was one of the many simple and nutritious desserts on the menu, I just added a few of my own personal touches, like rose petals and Shatavari Transcendent Elixir. What the heck is Shatavari? This is a beautiful herb that is very nourishing for the reproductive system. My reproductive organs are healing still after the birth of my first son so I am taking the elixir under my tongue daily, but I also wanted to make a tasty treat to enjoy! This recipe is very simple and I hope you give them a try.
