Desserts, Recipes, Vegan Recipe / November 11, 2019

Chamomile Poached Pear with Vanilla Cashew Cream

The poached pear is a quintessential dessert and one that makes a statement without much fuss. It also just happens to be vegan & gluten free by nature without the need for much more. I’ve made it one of my go-to’s for entertaining because it’s easy to prepare in advance. Not a single person will feel like they’re missing out (or left out due to dietary restrictions) if you serve this during the holidays. The touch of vanilla cashew cream is made with a secret ingredient (a small scoop of Further Foods Vanilla Collagen powder) which both thickens and enhances the “cream” component while adding a hint of vanilla.

When it comes to presentation and flavor this is a dessert recipe that anyone can pull off while looking like a pro.

Chamomile Poached Pear with Vanilla Cashew Cream

Makes 4 servings 

Ingredients:
4 Bosc pears (you can also use Bartlett, but Bosc have the perfect texture & flavor for poaching)
6 bags chamomile tea
6 cups filtered water
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp. minced ginger
3 T. maple syrup
Cashew Cream
1/2 cup organic, raw cashews soaked for 2-4 hours
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 scoop Further Food Vanilla Collagen powder (if you don’t have this, or need the recipe to be vegan, just add 1 tsp. vanilla extract)
2 tsp. maple syrup

Directions: 

Steep the chamomile tea in a medium stock pot. Remove tea bags and set aside.

Use a vegetable peeler to carefully the pears, leaving the stalks on top for presentation. Cut the bottom of the pear so it sets flat, then use a melon baller (or a rounded teaspoon works well) to core the pear from the bottom.

Place the peeled pears in the pot of seasoned chamomile tea, add the maple syrup, cinnamon stick, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and poach for about 1 hour until the pears are fork tender.

In the meantime, to make the cashew cream: drain and rinse the soaked cashews. Add them along with the coconut milk, lemon juice, vanila collagen powder and maple syrup into a high powdered blender. Pulse until broken down, then run at a high speed until the cashew mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take some time, work mixture down with a spatula and add additional spoonful of coconut milk if needed to thin the mixture out (this will depend on your blender, a Vitamix will make it a breeze).

Remove the pears from the liquid. To serve, place a liberal spoonful of the cashew cream on a plate. Then place the poached pear on top. Season with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve warm or room temperature.

Instagram post 2193794002225101629_356725617 In the past, I have stayed away from juicing beets because of their sugar content.👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I've recently started to juice 1 small beet with my greens 1-2x/week to help lower the toxins in my liver, protect my skin by neutralizing free radicals (anti-aging!) and really flush intestines. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, after juicing beets, I’m loaded with energy for hours and ready to take on the day!⚡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your thoughts on juicing high sugar produce? Let me know in the comments!

Instagram post 2193330691117182432_356725617 My love for curry started with the flavor. I love complex spices, so once I got hooked on the taste, I began to explore cooking with it myself more regularly.🍛 It was a pleasant surprise to learn that curry is not only a culinary delight, but it is also full of disease fighting antioxidants and minerals!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that traditional curry compounds possess antibacterial and antifungal benefits? Curry is notorious for promoting healthy digestion and long term consumption supports a healthy gut. The turmeric blend is a great liver detoxifier, so I love to load my curries with it.💥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This curried lentil and chickpea stew is a go-to for a rustic dinner. Serve over your favorite rice or on its own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out the link in my bio for the recipe!

Instagram post 2191145360418671055_356725617 You know I’m a bowl fanatic and the bowl of the day is this vegan Asian-inspired tempeh bowl. 🥢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The base is organic brown rice and it’s topped with shredded carrots, chopped green onion, thin sliced pickled ginger, daikon, cucumber, toasted almonds, organic tempeh, sesame seeds, nori flakes and coconut aminos.😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are my favorite health benefits from some of those delicious ingredients:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Tempeh: super high in plant-based protein and it’s fermented, which is amazing for gut health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Daikon: rich in nutrients including calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Pickled ginger: helps with indigestion, nausea, & other forms of gut health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Coconut aminos: packed with 17 amino acids & has a low glycemic index. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Sesame seeds: great source of vitamin B and fiber.

Instagram post 2190419437688008119_356725617 Most of my life, I never really trusted myself to make the right decisions. So, when it came down to an important choice, I tended to ask a million people for their advice or input. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I knew that getting various perspectives before making a choice is not a bad a thing, but it became debilitating for me.😣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started loving and caring for myself and I built the confidence to trust myself - that was when everything fell into place for me. I realized that every single decision that I make has one thing in common: ME.🙋🏼‍♀️ No one else is living my life. No one will understand what my day-to-day is like and what my gut instincts are telling me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My advice for today, this week, and the future ahead is trust your gut and stop relying on others to make you feel more comfortable. Instead, get comfortable with the uncomfortable! 😋 This is advice that I still work at every day.
