Or Tiramisu Larabars… Larabar Company, can I have a job yet? Pretty please, with cacao nibs on top?
Presenting the newest member of the Fudge Baby clan:
Completely raw. Completely vegan. Completely incredible.
Tiramisu Babies
(Makes about 3 Larabar-sized bars)
- 90 grams dates, which is about 1/2 c (as usual, see this post if you’re unsure as to what type of dates to use)
- 30 grams cashews
- 20 grams macadamia butter (a bit more than a tablespoon) (If you don’t have macadamia butter: you can probably use the real nuts. Or see version 2.)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder, or a bit less (depending on how much of a coffee flavor you want)
- 2-3 tiny drops almond extract (watch out; this stuff is strong!)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder, or a bit more (I use Hershey’s Special Dark)
Blend all the ingredients in your food processor (I use the Magic Bullet short cup). Form into bars, balls, or cookie-cuttered shapes. (If the dough is too soft, fridge or freeze before shaping.) EDIT: Some of the specific ingredients I used are not 100% raw. Feel free to sub your favorite raw cacoa powder and coffee substitute for a 100%-raw treat.
Version 2:
Use the recipe for Hot Chocolate fudge babies, cutting the amount of cocoa in half. Then add the extracts and coffee powder from the above recipe.
These taste AMAZING straight out of the freezer.
Optional ideas:
1. Add a splash of rum
2. Add melted chocolate
3. Form into bars and spread Raw Cheesecake on the tops
Or… use this as the crust, fill with the raw cheesecake mousse , and you have a super-simple raw & vegan Tiramisu Pie!
This is my favorite recipe yet I think!! I LOVE tiramisu!!
You should totally work for larabar 😀

I have the same issue with tweezing. And when the pics don’t line up right on the blog, I can’t stop until I get it fixed. And if I’m researching something, I really want to complete it before I put it down.
The tiramisu babies look amazing, btw!
Hi there Miss Katie, thanks for the shout, and as usual, the eats look amazing. And for me, it’s the 2nd time seeing the Tira Balls, and they look just as good this time 🙂
As do the pancakes!!
xoxox
Katie, you’re the most impressive baby-maker I’ve ever met (I’m sure you’re gotten that one already, but I had to go there lol. I’m sure you understand).
Tiramisu babies sound aweeeesooommmeeee!
xo
Haha I’m almost embaressed to admit that I don’t pluck my eyebrows
Your fudge babies look fantastic! As usual 🙂
You are such a genius, those sound fantastic. As do the pancakes…..mmmm….you never fail to make me so hungry!
tiramasu fudge babies?! you’re my hero!!! 🙂
I want you to come make me breakfast and snacks every day!!!!
The first thing I would make in a vitamix would be a real Kale SMOOTHie (I have a very dull-bladed regular blender and it leaves nasty chunks unless I use spinach, and frankly, I want some kale!), and some nut milk! Oh to have smooth smoothies and nut milk without using a coffee grinder to make nut-paste first. 🙂 Ooh, and to have smooth dates.
Tiramasu fudge babies!I’ve never considered eating babies before until now!lol I’m having a dinner party for vegans and non-vegans and have found a Tiramisu Recipe with Tia Maria, Kahlua and Amaretto (for the non-vegans). You too have suggested a splash of rum but how much would you recommend? Is there ever an amount that is too much…. 😉
