Indulge in a healthy Coconut Cassava Delight with nutrient-rich chia-mango drizzle. A unique, gluten-free dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth!
Ingredients
- • cassava flour: 1 cup
- • coconut milk: 1 cup
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/2 cup
- • coconut oil: 1/4 cup, melted
- • pure maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 tsp
- • baking powder: 1 tsp
- • sea salt: 1/4 tsp
- • ripe mango: 1, peeled and diced
- • chia seeds: 2 tbsp
- • lime juice: 1 tbsp
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine cassava flour, shredded coconut, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- 3 In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
- 4 Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 5 While the cassava base is baking, prepare the chia-mango drizzle. In a blender, combine diced mango, chia seeds, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
- 6 Once the cassava delight is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle the chia-mango sauce generously over the top before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Coconut Cassava Delight pairs beautifully with a side of fresh tropical fruits like pineapple or kiwi. For an added touch of elegance, sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top before serving. A cup of herbal tea, such as lemongrass or chamomile, complements the flavors and rounds out the dessert experience with a calming finish. For those who enjoy a bit of crunch, consider serving it with a handful of roasted nuts like almonds or cashews on the side. This not only adds texture but also enhances the nutrient profile of your dessert, making it even more satisfying.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cassava base will maintain its texture, while the chia-mango drizzle may thicken slightly. Before serving, allow it to come to room temperature or gently warm it in a low oven. For longer storage, freeze the cassava base separately and prepare fresh mango drizzle when ready to serve.
