- 30 g of coconut flour
- 40 ml of water
- 250 g of fresh ricotta
- 100 g of fresh cream
- 40 g of honey
- Optional: a few drops of vanilla essence
Materials Needed
- Electric whips
- Bowl
- Glass blender
- Spoons or scoop
Preparation
- Pour the fresh cream into a bowl and whip it until stiff with an electric whisk.
The advice ok
To facilitate whipping, we recommend leaving the cream in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. The whips should also be cold: this way, the cream will whip up faster.- Collect the coconut flour in the container of a glass blender, then add the water, fresh ricotta and honey. To taste, add a few drops of vanilla essence. Blend the mixture until you obtain a velvety cream.
- Slowly mix the coconut cream with the cream to avoid letting the mixture go limp.
- Leave the cream in the fridge for at least an hour before using it. The coconut cream is fantastic for filling or coating desserts, but it is also suitable for the preparation of mousses and spoon desserts. It can be served with a sprinkling of unsweetened cocoa powder , but it is also delicious with pineapple or banana pieces.
The vegan alternative
To veganize this recipe, we recommend replacing fresh ricotta with soy ricotta, fresh cream with vegetable cream or avocado cream, and honey with maple syrup or agave syrup.Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Fresh and light, the coconut cream is ideal for filling and covering cakes! To embellish the cream, I recommend adding pieces of fresh pineapple, strawberries or blueberry jam! It can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days: I do not recommend freezing.
