Contributed by: Kay Lee

Yield: 3 Ramekin Cups

A simple, refreshing dessert cup without dairy and added sugar. Even better, it’s made with unsweetened light coconut milk, without the extra fat, an added benefit for a healthy heart.

Ingredients:

  • 13.5 fluid ounce unsweetened light coconut milk
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 ½ tablespoons agar agar gelatin flakes
  • ¼ cup monkfruit white sugar

Raspberry Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 ½ teaspoons monkfruit white sugar

Instructions:

  • Very sparingly wipe inside of ramekin cups with plant-based oil. Set aside.
  • Blend together ½ cup raspberries and coconut milk in blender.
  • Mix together agar agar gelatin flakes and sugar in medium saucepan. Whisk in blended raspberry and coconut.   Bring mixture to boil and then reduce heat to simmer 5 minutes, or until gelatin flakes completely dissolved.
  • Pour mixture into prepared ramekin cups. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Raspberry sauce: simmer raspberries in sugar over medium-low heat. Smash a few berries with fork to soften and release juices. Heat for 2 minutes. Let cool and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • To serve next day: Carefully run knife around edge of ramekin and turn cups upside down onto serving dish. Drizzle top with prepared raspberry sauce.  

Enjoy!
