Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams almond flour
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 400 grams fresh strawberries
- 400 milliliters coconut cream (chilled overnight)
- 50 grams powdered sugar (use a dairy-free, vegan-friendly version)
- 2 teaspoons agar-agar powder
- 4 tablespoons water
Instructions
Prepare the base: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until a sticky dough forms.
Press the dough firmly and evenly into the bottom of a springform pan (8-inch/20 cm diameter). Refrigerate the base for 20 minutes to set.
Prepare the strawberry puree: Wash and hull the strawberries, then blend them until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired, and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the agar-agar powder with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the agar-agar is completely dissolved.
Add the agar-agar mixture to the strawberry puree and stir well to combine. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, but do not let it set completely.
Make the mousse: Scoop out the solid portion of the chilled coconut cream (discard the liquid) and whip it with powdered sugar using a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped coconut cream until fully combined.
Assemble the cake: Pour the strawberry mousse over the chilled base in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the mousse is set.
Once set, carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and garnish with fresh strawberries or other toppings of choice before serving.
