Light yet tangy, this dish finds refreshing harmony between sour lemon and creamy sweetness. Agar-agar is a seaweed-based product often used to help set desserts, and is also used as a plant-based substitute for gelatine. Add a pinch of turmeric for a dynamic colour pop.

Ingredients:

325ml nut milk

2 Tbsp maple syrup

Pinch of sea salt

⅛ tsp ground turmeric

¾ tsp agar-agar powder

½ cup lemon juice

2 tsp arrowroot powder

½ tsp vanilla extract

In a small saucepan, gently heat and combine the nut milk, maple syrup, salt, turmeric and agar-agar, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl or jug, combine the lemon juice, arrowroot and vanilla. When the milk mixture is simmering, add in the lemon mix, and stir on a low heat for another 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and pour the mixture into 4 individual ramekins or pots. Place in the fridge and refrigerate until completely set – about 2-3 hours. Served chilled with a garnish of our choice.

TO SERVE

Fresh or freeze-dried berries, optional 

Edible flowers, optional
