INGREDIENTS

  • 1 can Coconut cream (13.5 Fl Ounce )
  • 2 Ea. Rockit™ apple- peeled, small diced
  • 5 Ea. egg yolks- pasture raised
  • ¼ Cup Cornstarch
  • ¼  Cup golden maple syrup

  • ½ Tsp. Kosher Salt

  • ½ Tsp. Cinnamon- ground
  • 2 Tbsp Water

 

 

PREPARATION:  

  1. In a small sauce pan, heat coconut cream and petite apple slices until simmering slightly.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together egg yolks, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla and salt.
  3. Add ¼ of the hot coconut cream to egg mixture, whisking vigorously. Once combined add back to the pan with the rest of the coconut cream.  
  4. Reduce heat, whisk continuously till thick. Pour into an airtight container and chill. Or serve warm immediately.
    NOTE: don’t be alarmed if your pudding looks a little shiny. It’s the coconut oil trying to separate. Just give it a good whisking and it will come back together.
  5. Heat a small sauté pan. Add apples. And cinnamon and a Tbsp of water. Cook for 2 mins and set aside.
  6. Time to assemble in your chosen dish. I like stemless martini glasses. Add your patisserie crème, top with cooked sliced apples.

Yum!

An elevated drink that is non-alcoholic and punchy for enjoying any time!

Recipe tips: Chopping the apples into batons helps increase the surface area for the beautiful flavors to develop. Macerate the apples with sugar for 2 days before adding the cider vinegar – it gives you the best rosy color and amplifies the apple flavors. It takes about 5 to 7 days before its ready, but can keep for a month if stored in the fridge!

Ingredients

  • 5 Rockit™ apples, cored and chopped into thin batons

  2. Add in the opened cardamom pods and seeds. Transfer to a covered jar for 48 hours till all sugars have dissolved.
  3. Add in apple cider vinegar, stir thoroughly and leave in a cool dark place (eg Pantry or garage) for 3 to 5 days. Every day, give the contents a good stir. Taste it each day from day 3 onwards.
  4. Once the flavor is intense enough for your liking and all the sugar has dissolved, strain out the solids.
  5. Store the tonic in the refrigerator for up to a month.

To Make an Apple Cardamom Tonic Mocktail:
