Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp shredded or ribbon cut unsweetened coconut
- 3/4 cup coconut yogurt
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 to 3 tsp raw honey, plus a drizzle to garnish
- 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
- 1 heaping Tbsp gluten-free graham crackers, crushed
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
Directions
- Place coconut in a small saucepan set over medium heat and toast coconut until it begins to brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place yogurt in a bowl and mix in lemon juice, honey, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Arrange or layer kiwifruit and then crushed graham crackers on top of yogurt mixture.
- Garnish with toasted coconut, lemon zest, and drizzle with a little honey.
Notes
Lemon and kiwifruit bring vitamin C and antioxidants to this bowl that emulates a cream pie. The yogurt tastes like custard and contains healthy fats, probiotics, and calcium. A toothsome crumble, made from gluten-free graham crackers, supplies a perfect finish for this “pie.” Increase the protein content by replacing the coconut yogurt with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, which is higher in protein.
