"BLOODY MOON" - Raw and Healthy but Gross Halloween Dessert Recipe

In the spirit of Halloween, I decided to make "Raw and Healthy but Gross Halloween" Dish. Here is the recipe!


I tried to make a dessert dish, inspired by early October's "Blood Moon" event. Since the ordered silicone half-moon mold didn't arrive in time for making the dish, I struggled to make it work with the ingredients. First one didn't come out right, BUT it came out perfectly gross! So, I took a picture below:

Looks like "stuff" came out of a brain!  Ew!

The second time, I used a "chawan" bowl, and it came out in perfect shape!  Here it is!

"Bloody Moon" inspired by "Blood Moon" event

Ingredients:

For MOON

1/2 cup White sesame seeds 

1/2 cup Arrow root powder

1 Frozen banana

For BLOOD

Raspberries

Beets

Blueberries

For FINGERS

Cashews

Walnuts

Pecan

Coconut oil

Sliced almonds (for nails)

Direction:

1. First, MOON! Make "Goma Tofu" using white sesame seeds and arrow root powder (See: http://rawmariko.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html)

2. Blend the frozen banana to make "frozen banana ice cream" (See: http://rawmariko.blogspot.com/2014/09/i-have-desserts-before-meal-ginger-ice.html)

3. Mix the above with blended raspberries (for color) and freeze till hardened (Note: Save some blended raspberries for BLOOD to paint the fingers and for decoration)

4. Blend Blueberries also. Juice the beets (Both for BLOOD paint).  Keep the "foams" from juicing the beets (for gushy gut decoration)

5. Blend / food process the nuts and mold them with coconut oil into fingers. I mixed cashews, walnuts and pecans to give different shades to a little "decomposed" fingers. (I recently played a "dead body" in a feature film, and watched and learned how a Hollywood makeup artist turn me into a dead person!)

6. I bent one of the fingers for a little variety. Made creases for the joint areas, and added a slice of almond on each finger. 

7. Now the fun part! Paint the fingers and splash the BLOOD all over! Add the "foam" to the fingers...Ewwwwww!!!!!

...... Although it's all healthy ingredients, I must confess that it wasn't appetizing to eat this at all. It tasted good, though. 

Have A Happy Fun Halloweeeeeen!!!!!
