                  • 1 small to medium sized head of cauliflower – should yield 2 to 3 cups once processed
                  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or vegan cheese
                  • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese or vegan cheese

                  • ½ teaspoon basil or rosemary
                  • ½ teaspoon oregano

                  • 1-2 cups vegan Organic mozzarella cheese
                  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
                  2. Remove the stems from the cauliflower and cut into chunks, place the cauliflower into a food processor, pulse it until it resembles the texture of rice. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a cheese grater or chop it very finely.
                  3. Place the cauliflower in a kitchen towel and squeeze all the liquid out of it. Be sure to squeeze as much liquid as possible!!! Very important!
                  4. Combine the cooked cauliflower, egg or flax egg, garlic, cheese, and seasonings. Stir until a dough texture forms. Spread the cauliflower mixture out onto lightly greased parchment paper or a pizza pan in the shape of a pizza crust.
                  5. Bake the crust for approximately 10-15 minutes (depending on your oven), or until the crust is golden and crispy. After the crust is golden remove it from the oven and add your toppings.
                  6. Place the pizza back in the oven but this time turn on the broiler, bake for about 2-5 minutes until the cheese melts. be sure to keep an eye on it because the broiler can burn the cheese quickly.
                  7. Make sure you add love!  Slice and serve smiles!

                    Add the Carob,  coconut oil, baking soda, baking powder and mix again until smooth.

                    Batter needs to be sticky to be fudgy.

                    If you want it thinner add a tablespoon or so of coconut milk.

                    Tips:  The food processor is best.  It  blends and hides the consistency of the beans.
