1/4 cup coconut cream or milk (or more, depending on desired consistency)
2 tablespoons ground chia seeds
3 ripe peaches or apricots, stones removed
1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup raw macadamias (see note)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
honey or maple syrup to taste (optional)
Directions
1Stir the coconut cream/milk and ground chia seeds together in a small bowl and set aside for ten minutes or so to thicken.
2Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and creamy.
3Serve as you would regular custard – with fruit, or in a trifle – it is particularly delicious layered with honey cashew cream.
4Makes approximately 1.5 cups. Keeps for up to two days in the fridge.
I used a high-speed blender but if using a regular blender, you may want to soak the macadamia nuts for a couple of hours to soften them slightly. Drain well before using.
