Ingredients

  • 1 cup full
  • fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the gelatin and 1/4 cup of cold water until fully combined. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften.

  4. Divide the mixture evenly between two serving glasses or ramekins, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until set.
