Raw Honey Chocolates

This simple variation to our basic raw chocolate recipe swaps our usual Sweet Freedom for some of our yummy West Country raw honey from Colham Organic Farm and bee pollen.

Many of us remember crystalised ginger from our childhood and most likely remember it as being rather sickly and really sweet. Well it doesn't have to be, which is a bit of a theme here at Elements for Life, bringing you amazing food and simple recipes that are good for you.

Lime, Ginger & Kiwi Zinger

You will need to do a little preparation in advance to make a batch of crystalised ginger, but its worth it. The four layers that make up this raw vegan cake have a ginger bite with the freshness of lime and kiwi cutting through. You'll need a food processor and ban marie for this recipe.

Banana and Coconut Cream Hearts

This raw vegan desert has the flavours of banoffee pie, but without the refined sugar or cream. Five layers of creamy goodness. You'll need a food processor and blender for this recipe

Banana & Ginger Filled Raw Chocolates

If you fancy an unusual filling to your raw chocolates, try this delightful recipe from one of our lovely customers and eco advocate, Chez. A combination that we'd not have thought of, but we know what we'll be making some time soon!

Raw Chocolate Orange Cheesecake

This tasty recipe is inspired and adapted from a recipe by Amy from Fragrant Vanilla Cake. It's an luxurious raw, vegan cheesecake alternative that goes down a treat with everyone. You'll need a food processor and blender for this recipe.

Raw Ice Cream Sundae

Although it might initially appear a little labour intensive to create ice cream sundaes, it will be worth it in the end when you’re sitting outside in the sun with a massive serving all to yourself. This recipe works well as a dessert course for a dinner party, as you can keep the separate flavours of ice cream in bowls in the freezer, along with the frosted glasses, ready prepared until they are needed.

Creamy Vegan Raw Hot Chocolate

There's nothing quite like a nice mug of hot chocolate on a cold evening and we think you'll find making your own is so much better than buying it.

For this recipe, we used coconut milk, but you could use any milk you like, such as hemp or almond milk. If you're feeling really extravagant, then make your own cashew nut milk!

Raw Chocolate Coconut Cups

These chocolates have a layer of coconut sandwiched between two layers of raw chocolate, and are topped with a sprinkling of finely chopped goji berries, almonds and brazils. They are easy and quick to make, and taste divine! They make the perfect gift for special occasions like birthdays, Mother’s Day and Valentines
