“Mouthwatering Paleo Nordic Berry Parfait: A Cinematic Dessert Experience”

Allergens

Nuts (Almonds) - Coconut

Ingredients

• 1 cup mixed Nordic berries (lingonberries, cloudberries, bilberries)
• 1 cup full
• fat coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
• 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries and maple syrup. Cook until the berries have softened and released their juices, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for at least an hour to thicken.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the almonds, coconut, honey or agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. Spread the mixture evenly on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12 15 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning. Remove from oven and let cool.
4. To assemble the parfait, start with a layer of coconut whipped cream, followed by a layer of berries, then granola, and repeat for a total of four layers. Top with an extra dollop of coconut whipped cream and garnish with fresh Nordic berries.

Chef’s Insight

To intensify the Nordic flavors, consider infusing the coconut milk with cardamom pods while it chills. Remove the pods before whipping.
