A gorgeous, layered Sexy Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shake, which combines the sexy super food maca, known for its aphrodisiacal qualities, with decadent chocolate and luscious strawberries.

This is my submission to Sarah at Dead Easy Desserts for the August 2014 Raspberry Theme!

Lemon Bavarois with Raspberry Syrup

(Serves 8 – a little goes a long way- it's rich!)

Ingredients:

BAVAROIS

2 cups cashews, soaked
1/2 cup lemon juice (taste as you go, depends on how tart you like it)
2/3 cup raw coconut nectar, maple syrup (grade B), or raw honey (I've updated this from the original recipe, which calls for agave. Cocount nectar is only 10% fructose as compared to agave which is 97%!)
2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lemon zest (taste as you go, I only used 2 Tbsp)
1 vanilla bean, scraped

RASPBERRY SYRUP

2 cups raspberries
6-8 tbsp maple syrup or agave
2 tbsp lemon zest

GARNISH

2 tbsp orange zest

Method:

Blend cashews, lemon juice and agave in a high-speed blender until smooth. Gradually add coconut oil and remaining ingredients; continue to blend until smooth. Fill Serving dishes (I used 8, 3.5 oz. freezer-safe, juice glasses. Tiny ramekins would work well too.) half full with aproximately half the Bavarois mixture and allow to set in freezer until partially set.
Meanwhile, make Raspberry Syrup by blending all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. Pour syrup over partially set Bavarois and top with remaining Bavarois. Return to freezer until set.
Remove from freezer and garnish with orange zest to serve.

**Mine doesn't appear layered because I goofed the 1st time making:-) However, it still tasted amazing!
