Orange Custard Coconut Cups

Orange Custard Coconut Cups

These crispy coconut-and-almond cups are filled with creamy, dairy-free orange custard. A fresh, delicious dessert that can be prepared ahead of time.

Coconut cups

• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 1 cup almond flour or 1/2 almond + 1/2 sunflower flour
• 25 g coconut oil, melted
• 25 g honey
• 1 egg white

Mix everything together. Press firmly into a greased muffin tray, covering the bottom and sides to form small cups. Bake at 170°C for 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before carefully removing them.

Orange custard

• 1 × 400 ml tin coconut milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 whole egg
• 1/3 cup tapioca starch
• Juice of 1 small orange
• Vanilla, to taste
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 70 g dates + 30 ml water
• 10g gelatin + 60g cold water

Cook the dates in the water until soft, then mash & blend with all the other ingredients.

Add all the custard ingredients to a saucepan  and cook over low to medium heat, stirring continuously, until smooth and thick. Do not allow it to boil vigorously.

Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until cold and set. Spoon it into the cooled coconut cups shortly before serving. Decorate with orange slices and lightly roasted coconut.
