Always on the look out for healthy treats I found the perfect morsel in Rawmio's Organic Raw Chocolate Truffle Cake. It is absolutely delicious! I bought one yesterday from my local health store and I had intended on giving it to somebody or other in a fit of goodwill at some point over this coming season of giving, but in a moment of weakness opened the treat and haven't been able to stop munching since. Still there isn't much to feel bad about ingredient wise :Crust (Raw Coconut Flakes, Raw Almonds, Raw Currants , Raw Cacao) Filling (Raw Coconut Flakes, Coconut Sugar, Raw Cashews , Raw Cacao, Celtic Sea Salt. Shelf life is 6 months but good luck with keeping it that long!
The texture is spot on too, with a velvety, truffle like consistency that has a really satisfying mouth feel. There are large chunks of almonds along the crust that add interesting texture. I wouldn't exactly call it a cake, it really is more like a giant truffle but it is packaged like a cake. I am going to buy a bunch of them and give them out as Christmas gifts as I love the fact that the product is extremely tasty and good for you at the same time. Coconut sugar is a good sweetener to use as it is low glycemic so won't send blood sugar levels on a roller coaster. Anyone with a sweet tooth will be happy with this and not feel deprived. I didn't find it sickly sweet either. Rawmio has created a good balance with the coconut sugar and currants. There is quite a strong taste of coconut from the coconut flakes which I enjoy and tempers the cacao flavor so that the flavors blend well. Overall this is an elegant concoction that will delight chocolate lovers.
You can buy Rawmio Organic Raw Chocolate Truffle Cake in natural food stores or online.
