Raw Carrot Halva Recipe

I love the traditional Indian Carrot Halva dessert, so I made up this recipe. This does not taste exactly like the cooked version, but it satisfies my cravings.

2 carrots shredded
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup raw cashew halves
1 TBSP raw agave
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
1 TBSP raw tahini
1 TBSP lemon juice
pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup dried coconut for garnish (unsulferized and unsweetened)

Combine all the ingredients (except for the dried coconut), mix well. Adjust to your taste. Top with dried coconut. Serve cold. Enjoy.
