Recipe information

  • Total Time

    4 hours

  • Yield

    Serves 3–4

Ingredients

400g tin of coconut milk
3 medium eggs, separated
75g local organic honey (or less)
Juice and zest of 2 unwaxed organic lemons
A pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Chill the coconut tin in the fridge for at least 2 hours, so that the coconut cream floats to the top. You only need to use the cream, so keep the rest of the milk to flavor a soup or a smoothie.

    Step 2

    Place the egg yolks, honey, lemon zest and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and whisk constantly for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, scoop out the chilled coconut cream from the top of the tin into a bowl and beat with a whisk or spoon until stiff.

    Step 4

    In separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and sea salt until stiff.

    Step 5

    Fold the lemon mixture into the coconut cream, then gently fold in the egg whites.

    Step 6

    Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, then spoon into pretty glasses or bowls to serve.
