Its Here! My First E-book! + How To Make A Swirl

First of all - on Friday, May 10th, it was my 15th birthday (happy birthday to me)! And I have some really exciting news for my lovely readers today. I am proud to announce that my first free e-book is finally here! I've been planning this book for three months, plus one month prior to planning it before it even went into full production. So, all those months of good planning - my book came out just right! The recipes came out just the way I wanted them to come out. Like a dream come true. I'm super happy to finally show you what I've been working on for three months. This is my first, real, published book ever - and I'm super proud of myself. *happy & proud face* =)

My dad is seriously the luckiest man. He is my number one taste tester, and he tastes everything I make. He actually didn't see my e-book until it was finished. So, it was a complete surprise for him. My dad was extremely excited for me to launch my first e-book, and he was really excited to eat my last recipe in the e-book. The last recipe was suppose to be a raw vegan cake, but instead, I decided to add tofu, which in that case, isn't raw. Its all good, though. As long as you eat this cake in moderation - you should be fine. I'll be posting a post soon about my personal thoughts on tofu.  Stay tuned! 

The recipes you'll find in my "Raw Vegan Living Raw Chocolate Desserts E-book" are:

1. Chocolate Covered Stuffed Almond Dates Drizzled With Butter Nectar Cream Sauce (mmm... doesn't that sound epic?! its raw vegan)
2. Easy Raw Mousse Vegan Pudding (the mousse is raw, but the pudding is vegan)
3. Marbled Brownies (raw vegan)
4. Chocolate Orange Datetacious (mmm... orange + chocolate = heaven! this is actually my dad's recipe. genius, i know. its raw vegan, too)
5. Tofu Dates Swirl Cheesecake (not raw, but vegan because of the tofu. everything else is proudly raw!:)

Now, doesn't those five recipes sound epic?! Two vegan recipes, and three raw recipes. All are guilt free, too! ;) If you choose to download my e-book (yay!), you'll see the well-organized ingredients dictionary that will give you great excuses on why you should eat these desserts. Great to share with family, friends or whomever! By showing them all the health benefits of what they're eating, they'll hopefully realize that these raw vegan desserts aren't like your typical, ordinary desserts. It proves to them that healthy CAN be delicious! 

For my last e-book recipe (tofu dates swirl cheesecake), my dad was actually really excited to try it out! I've never seen him this excited before for the foods that I make. Not that my food isn't exciting or anything... but my Tofu Dates Swirl Cheesecake happen to be an even more special dessert then my other ones. He had no clue how my last recipe would turn out or what it was... so when it was all done, he was surprised and wanted to eat it immediately. My dad is so funny hilarious; when he's excited, he starts singing and dancing... which in this case, he did! I had to tell him to be patient because my cake needs to be firm before I cut it. I'm a patient person, so I waited patiently and eagerly. My dad though, was upset because he didn't eat it the day I made it (i made it the day before my birthday, and I let it firm in the fridge over night). I'm so glad I did and waited because look at this masterpiece! 

My dad is one lucky taste tester. He tasted every recipe in my e-book. He loved them all, but the last recipe - he was just so excited! And it made me very happy to see that he was excited and interested in what I had in store. I have to say, I've made cheesecakes before being a raw and vegan... but my Tofu Dates Swirl Cheesecake was my biggest dessert project ever! And it turned out divine! I was a happy camper birthday girl. =)

Now, onto the e-book!

As you already read early in this post (i spilled the beans out to early maybe...) but my first raw vegan e-book has finally ARRIVED!!!

All the recipes in my book are gluten-free, low-fat, extremely healthy, guilt free, and most of all, delicious!

Who wants Chocolate Covered Dates Drizzled with Butter Nectar Cream Sauce? 

I am super excited to finally launch and share my first e-book with all of you!!! I'm so happy that you're finally seeing it. I've been working hard into making this come together nicely. I've been working on this e-book for three months now, and finally - its here!! "Wow, for just five recipes it took you three months to complete your book", you may ask? Well, yes. I wanted this e-book to turn out nice, neat and well... perfect. I wanted it to be pleasing to your beautiful eyes (which is YOU, my audience!). If you noticed, I haven't been posting a lot of dessert recipes lately. I've been posting more juice, smoothie and dinner recipes. That's because I've been working my butt off with this book, and I didn't really focus that much on making other raw desserts. But that's all going to change. I'll be posting more raw desserts here. Working on my book also explains why there has been a gap in my posts. I've been so focused and determined to get this book finished ASAP. 

I can't complain though - I had a great and fun time making the recipes, making the book and taking the beautiful pictures! This was a fun, first time experience for me. I also want to thank all my followers, subscribers and those who support me; for being there and reading my posts, making my recipes and just being supportive. A big THANK YOU to you!!! I appreciate all your love and support. I really hope you love and enjoy my e-book, along with the rawesome recipes inside. And guess what?! I, Miliany Bonet, published and wrote my book, plus I designed the book cover! But I gotta thank my wonderful, smart father who knows about designing and stuff. He was my judge on my book cover, (i know, don't judge a book by its cover, but this time - its vise versa) and I think it came out pretty cool and neat. I love it, especially the colors (if I do say so myself). Be sure to give me your feedback. Your opinion matters. 

Please feel free to share this e-book with family, friends or whomever! If you choose to download it (which I hope you do:), please let me know in the comments below on how you like it.

Now, onto swirling! 

For those who choose to download my e-book, (yes!) you will find three recipes that call for swirls. Most of you may not know how to make a swirl, so I decided to make a moving image 'video' tutorial on how to form a swirl. Initially, I was going to add this tutorial in my book on how to swirl... but that didn't make it into my e-book, so I'm posting it on my blog now! Hope you like the moving images, and hopefully you find it very helpful. 

How To Make A Swirl:

What you'll need: (please note: the measurements will vary. but this is what i like to do: i spread the chocolate sauce first, then the white batter. i make more of the chocolate sauce, and a smaller amount of the white batter because you don't really need to make a lot of the second batter that you use. in other words, whichever batter you decide to spread first, then make more of that batter. and whichever batter you decide to spread second, make that batter smaller than the batter you spread first. makes sense? i like to make the chocolate first, then the white batter. cause that's how i swirl. You will need to know how to form a swirl for my raw marbled brownies in my eBook.)

white batter: 

~ cashew butter 

~ almond milk (or nay nut milk of choice)

chocolate batter - one of my chocolate recipes here:

~ cacao powder

~ liquid coconut oil

~ coconut oil

~ fresh pitted dates

~  almond milk (or any nut milk of choice)

How To Make The Swirl:

1. to make the Chocolate: place all ingredients in your blender, and blend until creamy and smooth. or use a whisk to whisk all the ingredients. 

2. to make the White batter: place all ingredients in a bowl or in a small blender, and blend or whisk until creamy and smooth. 

3. to make the Swirl: first, spread the chocolate sauce all over the batter you are swirling on (for example: swirling on brownies & cakes; you'll spread the chocolate all over on top of the brownie or cake) and drop tablespoons or teaspoons of the white batter in a row (you could pour the batter in whichever order you wish. read my "please note" above next to the text "what you'll need".) using a toothpick or a sharp knife, start swirling by starting at the center of the pie, and swirl at one direction, and then the other. Swirl in an "S" shape. "S" for swirling! ;) 

Tips: Be careful not to swirl too much, then otherwise - it will look like a big blurr (blob). You want the swirl to look pretty and cool. The chocolate sauce will harden almost too quickly, so I suggest that you add the white batter quickly before the chocolate hardens. The reason why I say to do this is, because the chocolate hardens almost too quickly when exposed to air. So, by adding the white batter when the chocolate is soft, it will make your swirling job much easier, and your swirl will look prettier. this prevents the swirl from blurring and blobbing! i learned that trick (my lesson) when i made my last e-book recipe. yeah, it had to happen. but i don't mind the way it turned out, though. i have to say, my brownie swirl came out better than mu cake swirl. bummer. =(

this is my last e-book recipe; Tofu Dates Swirl Cheesecake!

Happy Swirling!! ;)
