Delicious Carrots from Eat Fresh Organic box. They call out for Carrot, Apple and Ginger Juice (I also added the Yam leaves I got in the box and Coconut Water Kefir) and of course Carrot Cake Bites for the Kids snacks! With a batch of fresh Kefir Cheese in the fridge I set to work!!
140g/1 cup Grated Carrot
2 eggs (or 2tsp chia and 6 tsp water soaked to gel consistency)
50g/ 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil
50g/ 1/3 Cup coconut sugar
1tsp Grated ginger
1 tbs Kefir (any Almond milk or coconut Water Kefir is nice)
140g/1 cup Buckwheat flour
1/2 Cup Gluten Free Biscuit and Baking Flour
1tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1 cup of Chopped dates/ rasins/ dried apple/ dried figs
Mix the ingredients up to the Kefir together in with your K beater, add the dry ingredients and then your mix of raisins etc. I make mine in mini muffin tins. Cook at 180C for 10-15 mins util golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool.
For the Frosting;
1/2 cup of Kefir Cheese (or cream cheese)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Pinch salt
Coconut nectar or Maple syrup to sweeten (optional)
Full Directions on how to make Kefir Cheese are in my book Culture Your Life;
HKD$150 (Approx USD $19 GBP £12 AUS $20)
however it is briefly described in the pictures above. The longer you leave the kefir to sit and separate the ‘dry-er’ your cheese will become.
Mix the ingredients together and because these are for lunch boxes I put the frosting on the inside.
