After scraping the coconut meat out of all of them and of course tasting some of it, I just decided to make something. Partway through I realized I didn't have any dates so this was all improvised but turned out to be refreshing, not overly sweet, and the crust was by far the best part!
Filling (blender):
Meat from 2 young thai coconuts
9-10 strawberries, washed and sliced
2 small slices of peeled pear
a small drizzle of maple syrup (substitute agave)
Crust (food processor):
A big handful of almonds, soaked for only 20-25 minutes
6-7 prunes, soaked for only 5 minutes
2 bigger slices of pear peeled
2 tbsn of cinnamon (I LOVE CINNAMON)
1 tbsn of raw carob powder
1 tsp liquid vanilla extract
a small drizzle of maple syrup
Blend the filling, let sit while you process the ingredients for the crust, then push into a flan pan, wet your hands slightly. Then pour the filling over the crust, smooth, and freeze overnight.
Final Step:
Wake up to the most delicious, creamy, easy peezy, tart. Even though I spilled sticky coconut water all over the floor my irritated parentals thoroughly enjoyed this. I know it's undecorated but I just couldn't wait to taste some of it. Thinly slice bananas and strawberries for a nice effect.
this is a gorgeous entry and a wonderful picture! i am going to prepare this tonight. keep doing what you're doing, it's inspiring!
