Light & Easy Strawberry Dessert
Superb recipe for a Light & Easy Strawberry Dessert!It is made with plant-based ingredients and is free of oil, yet super tasty.Creamy raw cashews, chia seeds, coconut flakes, lemon juice, oats all mixed with the most aromatic and flavorful fruit strawberries.
Ingredients
- 3 cups strawberries fresh or frozen
For the strawberry cream
- 1 cup raw cashew nuts
- 1½ cup strawberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp quick oats
- 1 tsp apple pectin or tapioca flour
Instructions
- For the strawberry cream, place all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate the cream for about 2 hours to firm a bit.
- Chop the strawberries into small pieces and start assembling the dessert.
- Put part of the chopped strawberries at the bottom of appropriate cups ( I used small jars). This layer should be thick, you can even press the fruits to the bottom a little bit so the cream does not go in between. Then top with some cream.
- Decorate with strawberry pieces and mint leaves, sprinkle with coconut flakes and enjoy!
Notes
- If you use frozen strawberries (as I did), let them thaw. They will be easily chopped. You can also add the juice they release to the cream.
- You can make more layers, depending on the size of your cups.
- Chopped strawberries can be added to the cream as well, for a chunkier texture.
