Coconut 'Yoghurt'

• 170 gm fresh coconut flesh (from white young coconuts)
• 125 mls coconut water
• pinch good sea salt
• 1/2 tsp stevia or sweetener of choice

Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy.

 

Gently heat aloe vera juice until hot but not boiling.

Then add gelatine which has been previously 'bloomed'

(bloom by adding gelatine powder to a little water and leave for a few minutes to swell)

Whisk gelatine and aloe juice together until dissolved.

Add lime juice, stevia, and mint and continue whisking while heating to boiling.

Remove from heat, remove mint sprigs and add lime zest.

Pour into jars or glasses and chill in fridge until set.
