Raspberry Bird's Milk Slices with Chia
A light, vegan two-layer set dessert of raspberry and white (coconut-chia) layers thickened with agar, inspired by Polish raspberry "bird's milk" (ptasie mleczko).
Ingredients
| 100 ml | vegetable milk (raspberry part) | |
| 300 g | fresh raspberries, blended smooth (can be frozen) | |
| 3 tbsp | 45 ml | xylitol |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | vanilla extract / vanilla paste / vanilla beans |
| 2 tsp | 10 ml | agar (raspberry part) |
| 1 can (400) g | coconut milk (white part) | |
| 100 ml | vegetable milk (white part) | |
| 4 tbsp | 60 ml | chia seeds |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | maple syrup (non-vegan may use honey) |
| 3 tbsp | 45 ml | xylitol (white part) |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | vanilla paste |
| 1 1/2 tsp | 7.5 ml | agar (white part) |
Instructions
- We need two pots - one for raspberry, the other for white. In each of them put all the ingredients except agar. Warm them up at the same time and mix well with a whisk. When the mass is boiled, add agar and mix thoroughly. Cook about 5 minutes on very low fire.
- Line a plate (20x20cm) with baking paper or food foil. At the bottom of it pour 1/2 of the raspberry pulp. Put in the fridge for about 5 minutes.
- When the mass is slightly thick, lay out the white part. Put it back in the fridge, but this time for 10-15 min. During this time reheat the rest of the raspberry mass. Do not worry, it's enough to reheat and mix thoroughly (if possible add 1 teaspoon of milk if the mass is too strong to evaporate).
- When the weight is slightly split, pour the remaining raspberry on it.
- Cover with aluminum foil or food foil and put it in the fridge for about 3 hours. After that time cut the concentrated mass into small pieces and enjoy their extraordinary lightness :) Bon Appetit!
- If you like very sweet desserts add about 1 tablespoon of xylitol more.
