1 Tablespoon raspberry (framboise) liqueur such as Chambord
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
10 fresh raspberries
Instructions
Microwave the dates on high for 30 seconds OR place them in a shallow bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let them sit in the water for 3-5 minutes, than drain.
Put the dates, cashews, coconut, cocoa, coffee, raspberry liqueur, vanilla, and salt into a high speed blender or food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process on high until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture is mostly smooth.
Dump the mixture out onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap and roll out to a ⅜ inch thickness. With a 3 inch flower cookie cutter, stamp out flower shapes. Using the end of a standard size piping tip cut out a circle in the center of each flower. Ease a raspberry into the center of each flower. Serve with fresh whipped cream.
