#LaVieBastide - Panacotta with almond milk and basil with Jules & Green
Based in the lush and gifted terroir of Aix-en-Provence, food & wellness blogger Jules & Green is carving her own path in French cuisine with a healthy approach - making delicious vegetarian (and vegan) recipes out of fresh local ingredients.
"I cannot finish a meal without a sweet touch! I particularly love this panacotta with almond and figue notes. The almond butter makes it super creamy, and the basil gives it a "je ne sais quoi". This is such a fresh and guilt free dessert, so enjoy!" Jules & Green
Ingredients :
450ml / 15.2 fl oz of almond milk with no added sugars
2 tablespoons of almond butter
1 teaspoon of agar agar
1 small branch of basil
3 tablespoons of coconut oil
5 tablespoons of agave syrup
A couple of figues and a few blackberries for the presentation and one tablespoon of liquid honey.
Prepare the Panacotta :
In a pan, heat up the almond milk with the basil on medium heat for a few minutes - enough time for the basil to be infused. Remove the basil and add the teaspoon of agar agar. Mix well with a whisk and bring the almond milk to a boil for a few seconds.
Off the stove, add in the almond butter, the coconut oil and the agave syrup. Mix the preparation in a blender.
Pour the mixture into small bowls or into a mold placed in a soup bowl.
Put in the fridge for an hour.
Garnish with fruit and drizzle some honey on top.
Bon Apetit!
