Here’s a raw recipe that Marina shared with me. Imagine trying to live a raw lifestyle in Switzerland -the land of milk chocolate and cheese. I can’t wait to visit her and hear more about her experiments.

Here’s one she shared with me for frosted brownies.

I made these a few times but each time I had to tweak the icing a bit. Play around with it; raw recipes really depend on quality of ingredients at hand, so make sure the avocado is ripe when you start… then play with the sweetness of the icing as you go and keep tasting until you find it to be just right.  Again, these could be made into cupcakes instead of brownies… divine !
