Yesterday was @vegan.niinja's B-day. Although she asked me for a birthday smoothie, she is simply too amazing to get her something as simple as a green drink.
If you haven't heard she is hosting a #happybirthdaycontest. Check out her post HERE for more info.
Though I know she is on a sugar-free mission, this recipe contains a little organic, raw palm sugar produced locally in Cambodia. So I hope she will forgive me this one-time birthday indulge moment @vegan.niinja 😋
Before we dive into the recipe and video, for all of you who haven't heard about jicama let me introduce you to this wonderful forgotten root vegetable. Jicama (pronounced HEE-kah-ma) - aka yam bean, Mexican turnip, or Mexican potato - has a yellow and papery outer skin and the inside has a crisp texture that resembles a raw potato or pear. The flavor is starchy and sweet, reminiscent of some apples or raw green beans. See pic below!
JICAMA COCONUT OREO COOKIES - THE RECIPE
Ingredients (makes 26 oreos)
For the filling
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1.5 cups grated jicama
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup raw sugar
- Pinch of salt
For the cookies
- 1 1/3 cups raw almonds
- 3/4 cup dates
- 1/4 cup goji berries
- 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1-3 tbsp water
FYI: I had a little jicama filling left so I rolled them into small balls, froze them for a little while until cooled and then coated them with a mixture of coconut oil and raw cacao.
To make the recipe a little more festive, I served it with a homemade fresh mint, cardamon, cinnamon, green tea and some of the jicama leftover balls.
Here are a few more pics of the end result.
Happy Birthday girl. I hope you had an amazing time with your loved ones. I had some friends over for tea and we celebrated in your honor ღ ღ ღ

They sure are. Jicama is so cheap here so definitely looking for more ways to use it. Is it easy to come by in the States? Never seen it in Belgium when I lived there. I hope you get to try them. We absolutely loved them.

I can usually find jicama. Though usually the cashiers have no clue what it is when I bring it to the checkout. I haven't had any in a while, so this may be a good excuse to get some. :)

I've never had a dessert with jicama! What a great idea as a filling with coconut. Wish I could eat one or two with my coffee right now.
