Blueberry Lemon & Coconut Tart
Created by EatWell
For the base:
1 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup ground almonds 1/4 cup finely chopped dates
1/2 cup coconut 2 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon vanilla 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Add all base ingredients into a food processor or blender. Blend until well combined. Press into a greased flan tin with a removable base. I used an oblong one, but you can also use a round dish. Place in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Filling: 1 can of coconut cream (reserve ¼ cup) 3 tsp gelatine ¼ cup sugar Juice of ½ lemon
Rind from ½ lemon ¾ cup thick greek yoghurt 1 dessertspoon of honey
1 cup blueberries + extra to serve
Pour the coconut cream into a medium sized pot and heat on a medium temperature. When the coconut cream begins to lightly bubble, sprinkle over the gelatine and whisk to combine. Add the sugar, lemon juice and rind. Mix well and remove from heat. Pour into a bowl and place in the fridge until it begins to cool.
While the mixture is cooling, in a clean pot add the blueberries, remaining ¼ cup coconut cream and honey. Place on an element over a medium heat, stirring regularly until the berries are defrosted and the mixture is warm.
When the berry mixture is cool, blend together until smooth.
Take the yoghurt mix from the fridge. Add half the mixture to the blueberry mixture and stir until combined
Take the base from the fridge. Alternate placing large spoons of the yoghurt mixture and blueberry mixture and swirl to combine the colours.
Place in the fridge until set then cut into pieces and serve with extra berries and yoghurt.
Coconut and banana ice cream / ice blocks
Created by Anneke Jenkins
Serves 10
Ice cream base:
800ml Coconut cream (approx 2 tins)
2 Bananas
1 tsp Vanilla
Extras:
or
Chopped Sujon frozen fruit of your choice
Blend the ice cream base ingredients together until smooth.
If you want to make a Sujon blackcurrant powder flavored ice block, separate ¼ of the ice cream base mixture and mix in the Sujon powder, blend until smooth.
Pour into a container of your choice or into ice block moulds and set in the freezer. If you want a swirl texture or a half-in-half look, you can set half the mould before adding the rest of the mixture in.
Get creative with your ice blocks and add chopped strawberries, mango or berries. They look awesome and make for a yummy cold summers treat!
