“Emily Von Euw, creator of the popular blog This Rawsome Vegan Life, makes treats that are so phenomenal and so stunning they should be considered masterpieces. Oh yeah, and they’re raw, vegan AND gluten-free.”
That’s the introduction on Amazon for Emily’s amazing cookbook, Rawsome Vegan Baking: An Un-cookbook for Raw, Gluten-Free, Vegan, Beautiful and Sinfully Sweet Cookies, Cakes, Bars & Cupcakes.
This is probably my favorite of all her amazing recipes for sweets. When people credit Emily for being a genius they are not exaggerating.
A lot of people blogged this recipe when Emily’s cookbook came out.

If you are new to the dietary term “raw”, Karen Knowler the “Raw Food Coach” explains:
- “Raw food” literally means “uncooked”.
Raw food is, technically speaking, food that has not been heated above 48 degrees centigrade (117 degrees Fahrenheit). This usually means uncooked foods, or more specifically, foods in their natural state – nothing more, nothing less.
By default this will mean foods that are safe to eat raw, which are the obvious foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds – but there are a whole array of raw foods both within these particular food groups and also many more outside of them that could very well be new to you.” Learn more.
ABOUT TAHINI
Tahini is a paste made from ground hulled sesame seeds used in North African, Greek, Iranian, Turkish, and Middle Eastern cuisine. Tahini is served as a dip on its own or as a major component of hummus, baba ghanoush and halva.
You can buy tahini. However, if you have a food processor why not make your own.
It is quick and easy and you need only two ingredients: sesame seeds and oil. Kitchn.com shows us how here. It really does taste so much better too. Yum.
