I am a dessert person. When I saw this recipe on The Rawtarian’s site, I knew I had to do it. This simple but delicious recipe is amazing! It’s sweet and chewy, and the best – no sugar, flour, or dairy. I edited the original recipe a little (of course I did), but the result was still amazing.
This is not the most nutritious recipe ever, but it’s still very healthy and it makes a wonderful sugar fix that you can carry around as a snack or have it as a dessert.
They taste like lemon pie, and I devoured the whole recipe in only a few days. This is probably my new favorite dessert.
