The Lemon Coconut Pudding Recipe You Have to Try
Both lemon and coconut are high on healthy living lovers' radars right now. And when it comes to dessert, everyone's always looking for a great way to incorporate less sugar without losing the taste of a sweet, desirable treat. This coconut pudding recipe offers an incredible zing of citrusy flavour with, what some countries refer to as the "king of food," coconut.
Coconuts are nutritional powerhouses for their long list of health benefits. For starters, they're loaded with naturally sterile electrolytes, which in turn feed your pH and muscle function. They're also high in fiber, which promotes the feeling of fullness for a prolonged amount of time, they aid in weight loss, and they're high in lauric acid, which converts to monolaurin, that in turn works to eliminate lipid-coated viruses like HIV, herpes, influenza and measles.
Lemon is another nutritional powerhouse, packed with Vitamin C, high in antioxidants known as
flavonoids, which can fight heart disease, cancer and inflammation. This citrus fruit is also known to help strengthen the immune system, reduce the risk of obesity, and promote healthy skin.
Ingredients
2 cups young coconut
½ teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon almond extract
1½ tablespoons lemon juice
2 drops stevia
½ teaspoon honey, to balance
1 pinch sea salt
1 cup water, in increments
1 cup ice cubes
Directions:
1. In a high-speed blender, blend all ingredients, except ice, until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness, if necessary.
2. Add the ice and blend again until cool and creamy.
3. Serve in small ramekin dishes and garnish with lemon zest.
This recipe makes 6 servings.
