Summer is the season of celebrations, at least in my my family. With half of my family celebrating birthdays in the summer, there's always a party to host or attend. My mom always made dessert so easy: fruit salads, fruit bowls (before açaí was a thing), fruit soups, trifles, parfaits, you name it. I tend to do the same. If I don't have a Rawfully Delish treats available, I opt in for an easy fix. Here are some of my personal go-to's for a quick, nutritious and delicious summer dessert you can whip up when the guests are at the door!
Quick coconut yogurt:
2 cups coconut meat
3 tablespoons honey (or sweetener of your choice)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Pinch salt
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
This easy coconut yogurt can be:
flavored with an extract of your choice;
mixed with papaya;
mixed with raspberries, strawberries and mint;
layered with avocado and mangoes (yum!)
Easy custard:
1 cup fresh mango
Pinch salt
1⁄2 cup almond milk
3 teaspoons xylitol (or sweetener of your choice)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
1. Blend until smooth in a high-speed blender.
The custard pairs well with bananas, or fresh pineapple and mango. Optionally, add some nuts for a crunch. Serve in a bowl, or a martini glass, if feeling fancy ;)
Lemon Cream:
1 cup macadamias (soaked in hot water for 15 min prior, strained)
1⁄2 cup water
Pinch salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons monk fruit
Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
Serve with a fruit salad of your choice. Serve with berries to stay in keto! :)
