This dessert contains no refined sugar and uses natural ingredients, and its aroma will fill the kitchen with an inviting scent. It is perfect for any occasion, whether you are celebrating a special event or simply want to treat yourself after a long day. Let's get started!

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 10 minutes
Cooling time: 2 hours
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients

- 400 ml soy milk
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 4 g agar-agar (or vegetable gelatin, according to package instructions)
- 100-120 g Green Sugar (or sugar, 20-30% more)
- 1 vanilla pod
- 150 g nuts (ground)
- 100 g raisins
- Zest of one lemon or lime
- 200 g frozen fruits (ask your vision for help in choosing your favorite fruits; sour cherries are an excellent choice)
- 1 heaping tablespoon of starch (dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water)
- 150 g dark chocolate without milk (for decoration)

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the vanilla
Let's start with the aroma! Take the vanilla pod and cut it lengthwise. Carefully use the back of a knife to scrape out the fragrant seeds. These seeds will add a deep and complex flavor to your dessert.

Step 2: Boiling the ingredients
In a saucepan, combine the vanilla seeds, vanilla pod, coconut milk, 350 ml of soy milk, and 80 g of Green Sugar. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. You will notice how the aroma of vanilla fills the air! It's a perfect moment to savor the process.

Step 3: Preparing the agar-agar
In a small bowl, dissolve the agar-agar in 50 ml of soy milk. When the mixture in the saucepan begins to boil, add the dissolved agar-agar and stir quickly. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously. Turn off the heat and add the grated lemon zest.

Step 4: Preparing the base with nuts and raisins
Use a food processor to grind the nuts together with the raisins. In a round dish with a diameter of 20 cm (or in two smaller dishes if you want variation), add the ground nuts and press down firmly to form a solid base.

Step 5: Pouring the mixture
Remove the vanilla pod from the milk mixture and slowly pour the mixture over the nut base. Be careful not to displace the base, pouring slowly and evenly. Let the dessert cool to room temperature, then place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Step 6: Preparing the fruit sauce
In a small saucepan, add the frozen fruits, the remaining Green Sugar, and the starch dissolved in water. Let it boil, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking. I prefer a tart contrast, but you decide what suits you best!

Step 7: Decorating with chocolate
To add a touch of refinement, melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie. To create decorative shapes, place a piece of parchment paper on a rolling pin and pour the melted chocolate over it. Let it cool, then cut into curls or desired shapes.

Serving

Once the dessert has completely cooled, pour the fruit sauce on top and decorate with the chocolate curls. This post diplomat is not only visually appealing but also a delight for the taste buds! Enjoy it with a cup of green tea or a strong espresso.

Useful tips

- Agar-agar vs. gelatin: Agar-agar is an excellent alternative to traditional gelatin and thickens even at room temperature. Be sure to follow the instructions on the package for best results.
- Variations: You can replace the nuts with almonds or hazelnuts, and the raisins with dried apricots for a different note of sweetness.
- Natural sweeteners: If you prefer a different natural sweetener, you can experiment with honey (depending on dietary restrictions).

Nutritional benefits

This post diplomat recipe is rich in healthy fats from nuts and contains antioxidants from dark chocolate. Additionally, soy and coconut milk provide a good dose of plant proteins and essential fatty acids. Furthermore, using natural sweeteners reduces caloric intake, making it a healthier choice.
