As you may know, I've been playing with the idea of going to a raw vegan diet and thought I'd test the waters a bit with some dessert recipes I found while doing a stellar job of procrastinating... ;)
The first is brownies and the recipe is here:

I didn't have lucuma so the frosting isn't caramel, but it is still very good! I ended up spreading the brownies into an 8x8 pan instead of 6x6 and then cut them into 36 squares and garnishing each with half a red raspberry. :)
The second recipe was Baby Blondies (recipe here: http://almostveganchef.com/2011/01/22/the-5-minute-single-serving-raw-vegan-blondie/ ) with chocolate ganache (recipe here: http://almostveganchef.com/2010/10/04/reviews-tropical-traditions-xagave/ )
Instead of making a single serving with the recipe, I pressed the dough into five smaller servings. I also took the vanilla option versus hazelnut in the ganache based on what was in the cupboard!
First attempt at intentionally raw vegan desserts has been deemed a success! :) I highly recommend the recipes and hope to pursue raw vegan foods in general (slowly transitioning from my cooked vegan diet, of course!).
Looks good. :)
