Nuts (Almond)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1/4 cup coconut yogurt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and chia seeds. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes to create a chia pudding.
  2. In another bowl, mash the avocado until smooth, then stir in the coconut yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Set aside.
  3. In a blender, combine the frozen mixed berries with 1/4 cup of almond milk. Blend until smooth, creating a vibrant berry coulis.
  4. To assemble the dessert, place a generous dollop of the avocado coconut cream in the center of a serving plate. Drizzle the berry coulis over the top, creating a ripple effect like the sun's first light on the water. Spoon the chia pudding around the edges to mimic the rising sun.
  5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
