- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Fresh seasonal fruit for garnish (e.g., strawberries, kiwis, blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the walnuts evenly on the tray. Toast in the oven for 8 10 minutes or until golden brown, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, honey, coconut cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on high speed until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the honey walnut mixture.
- Crush the cooled walnuts into coarse pieces and gently fold them into the mixture as well.
- Pour the mixture into a loaf pan and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
