simple dessert? THIS is a challenge:

I am fairly new to raw. The girl that I share an apartment with isn't raw and neither are my friends. A bunch of girls are coming over to my new place in a few days for dessert and tea. Right now I have a minimal budget, no blender, and a very weak dehydrator.

So, any ideas?

What is your favorite crowd-pleaser? They are all pretty easy going and adventurous, but omnivorous as well. What is something satisfying, sweet, good with tea, and not too "crazy raw"?

I don't know if you have a food processor, but here are some yummy desserts that look simple enough to try:

Lately my dessert of choice has been a handful of dried cranberries and some almonds. easy! The textures and flavors are so pleasing together! If you presented them well that could be a nice dessert for tea guests. Also, I'm fond of these raw macaroons with a couple of mods: http://www.pure2raw.com/2009/12/holiday-raw-vegan-gluten-free-peppermint-macaroons/

I omit the goji berries and peppermint for simplicity. Also, I find that they are WAY too sweet for me. I think I make them with just under 1/4 c agave. Better to start small and add more if needed. I shape them with my TBSP measuring spoon and keep in the fridge-- I don't dehydrate. They're yummy but I'd advise serving them chilled because they can get crumbly at room temp.

I'd love to hear what you end up making!
