Ingredients
3 tablespoons/envelopes of unflavored gelatin powder (like this)
6 tablespoons cold water
3 cups unsweetened coconut yoghurt (dairy-free, like Coyo brand)
6 teaspoons sugar-free sweetener like Nativa, Swerve, Lacanto
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
To serve:
2 cups berries of choice (blueberries, raspberries or diced strawberries)
1/2 cup toasted shredded coconut
Instructions
- Add gelatin powder to a small bowl and pour in the cold water. Stir with a fork until well combined and set aside to set. The gelatin will slowly dissolve and firm up.
- In the meantime, whisk together the coconut yoghurt, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl.
- Now, we have to warm up the set gelatin. Place the small bowl inside a large bowl and pour boiling hot water into the larger boil, creating a hot bath for the gelatin bowl. This will heat up the gelatin without actually touching it or adding extra hot water. Stir it with a fork until it slightly melted.
- Add the melted gelatin mixture to the coconut yoghurt and whisk together for 30 seconds.
- Taste the mixture and add a little more vanilla or sweetener if you like. Divide the mixture between 6 ramekins or glasses. Cover and wrap them with Clingwrap individually or place on a tray and cover the tray. Pop in the fridge to set for 2 hours.
- To serve, unwrap the glasses and test to see if the mixture has firmed up and feels a little wobbly. Top with mixed berries and toasted coconut flakes or your favourite nuts. You can also top them with granola.
