1/2 cup almonds, soaked overnight 1/4 cup water a few dried fruit (i like dates and figs) 2 tbsp dried coconut a little ground or fresh ginger arils of 1 pomegranate
All I do is put all the ingridients into a blender except the pomegranate arils, which I stir in last. Any input would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

You could try dates, agave nectar, ground flaxseed.. coconut oil or butter.. any of those or a combination of those might work. :]
thank you, i’ll be sure to try some of those!
Try using ground flaxseed. The flax will soak up the water and hold everything together.
Sounds yummy!! Please post the recipe when you get it all figured out. I have a few cookie recipes that I am working on right now too.
is an aril the seed? that’s such a great word! does it apply to any other fruit?
I added 2 tbsp raw agave and 3 tbsp ground flaxseed but still didn’t get the consistency I wanted. However, it did make it delicious! Thanks for the tips and if I ever get it to turn out I’ll be sure and post the recipe. This is only my 4th day going raw so I’ve been doing a lot of experimentation haha. But anyway, I checked out Wikipedia and it said that an aril is the fleshy part that covers the seed, like in mangosteen, pomegranate, and the mace that covers nutmeg. And I agree, it is a great word :)
