Indulge in a nutrient-rich exotic fruit & nut crisp topped with a refreshing coconut yogurt drizzle. A guilt-free, flavorful dessert!
Ingredients
- • Dragon fruit: 1 medium, peeled and cubed
- • Starfruit: 1 medium, sliced
- • Ripe banana: 1, mashed
- • Pistachios: 1/4 cup, roughly chopped
- • Almonds: 1/4 cup, roughly chopped
- • Rolled oats: 1/2 cup
- • Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Coconut oil: 1 tablespoon, melted
- • Unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tablespoons
- • Coconut yogurt: 1/2 cup
- • Fresh lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • Honey or maple syrup: 1 tablespoon (optional)
- • Fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the fruits and nuts achieve a perfect crispy texture.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the dragon fruit cubes, starfruit slices, and mashed banana. Mix in the chopped pistachios, almonds, rolled oats, and cinnamon, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
- 3 Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Transfer this mixture to your air fryer basket, spreading it out evenly for consistent cooking.
- 4 Air fry the fruit and nut mixture for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The crisp should be golden brown and fragrant when done.
- 5 While the crisp is cooking, prepare the coconut yogurt drizzle by combining coconut yogurt with fresh lime juice and honey or maple syrup (if desired) in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
- 6 Once the fruit and nut crisp is done, let it cool slightly before serving. Drizzle each portion with the coconut yogurt mixture and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this exotic fruit and nut crisp warm, allowing the flavors of the air-fried fruits and toasted nuts to shine. Pair it with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream or a dollop of whipped coconut cream for an extra indulgent treat. Complement the dessert with a glass of herbal tea, such as hibiscus or chamomile, to enhance the tropical notes and provide a soothing finish to your meal. For a more substantial dessert experience, consider serving the crisp over a bed of quinoa or chia pudding. The additional protein and fiber will make it a satisfying end to any meal, perfect for a dinner party or a cozy family gathering.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover fruit and nut crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its crispness, reheat the dessert in your air fryer for a few minutes before serving. The coconut yogurt drizzle can be stored separately in the fridge for up to a week, making it easy to enjoy this dessert at its freshest anytime. If you wish to prepare the crisp in advance, consider keeping the fruit and nut mixture separate from the yogurt drizzle until ready to serve, ensuring that each component retains its intended texture and flavor.
