Rawmazing Desserts - Susan Powers
When I introduce people to Rawmazing—the raw food lifestyle—for the first time, I start with dessert. The response is always the same: This is raw? This is healthy?
I can understand their surprise. All of their lives, they’ve been offered high-calorie desserts containing white sugar, white flour, eggs, cream, and butter. Their sweet tooth has been trained to expect the taste of processed food—almost all of which contains high-fructose corn syrup. Not exactly high on the good-for-you food list!
Wow!
their faces telegraph when I show them how to combine almonds, avocados, liquid sweetener, and cacao powder in a food processor and turn out a creamy, rich chocolate mousse, or when I serve them a slice of cheesecake
that looks like it came off the shelf at the best bakery but is, in fact, raw, vegan, and made only from fruits, nuts, and liquid sweetener.
No wonder they’re amazed when they learn they can enjoy rich, delicious desserts made of the healthiest foods on Earth; nutrient-dense ingredients like fruits and nuts, with dates for sweetening and unprocessed cacao for heart health! When even your dessert provides you with antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients, and minerals, the picture of what a Rawmazing lifestyle might look like starts to change.
Rawmazing desserts are pure delight—literally. They taste better than their traditional counterparts because they’re made with real, whole, healthy ingredients that our bodies were made to eat. Even better, there’s no bloating, lethargy, or guilt when you’re finished eating a raw dessert—only energy, lightness, and the joy of knowing that while treating your taste buds, you’ve given your body the gift of deep-tissue nutrition.
When you see how easy Rawmazing desserts are to prepare—even a beginner home cook can whip together a gourmet dessert in minutes—you’ll be hooked, and on your way to living a Rawmazing life!
—Susan Powers
My Thoughts on Dessert
I have always loved desserts—and growing up in a family of fabulous cooks established my sweet tooth at an early age. I’d stand on a stool beside my Grandmother Ola, learning how to sift the flour and mix the ingredients to make the cookies I so loved. I still remember my mother’s patience as she taught me her special recipes and—since the kitchen often looked like a tornado had gone through after I was done—tried to get me to clean up as I worked. I still love making, and eating, desserts. But I’m no longer interested in the nutrient-empty desserts of my youth. Oh, I still want the treats—but I want them to be healthy and beautiful and, in the Rawmazing tradition, easy to make!
That said, please keep in mind that raw desserts are nutritious but can be calorie dense. They are desserts and should be treated as such. Servings are smaller than traditional desserts—and should be served like any dessert, as a special treat to round out a healthy meal.

Dehydration
All dehydration times are suggested times. When dehydrating, many variables come into play, such as air humidity and the type of dehydrator used. Though I offer guidelines in the recipes in this cookbook—and on Rawmazing.com—I always check as I go.
I am often asked: Why do you start the dehydration at a higher temperature and then lower it? To maintain the integrity of raw food, the food temperature must not get above 118°F. When food is still in the wet state, the temperature is much lower than the air temperature. By starting at a higher temperature, you can reduce the moisture in the food more quickly, reducing dehydration times and also preventing fermentation.
Note: I always set a timer to remind myself to turn the temperature down after the first initial drying time.
