Strawberry Summer Dessert
This refreshing summer desert is wonderfully cooling! It combines the great taste of fresh strawberries and apple juice with the mineral and nutrient rich benefits of sea vegetable agar gelling agent. The result is a vegan jelly that looks and tastes great and is good for us too! It can be served with a cashew cream topping or other tasty non-dairy topping. It is surprisingly simple to make, just be sure that it is fully set before you eat it! This recipe makes a softer consistency - for a more firm one you can follow the same instructions but leave out the kuzu/ arrowroot.
