Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 3 large Egg Yolks
- 3 tablespoons Raw honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Desiccated coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of sea salt to form a crumbly mixture.
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown, then set it aside to cool.
While the crust is baking, begin preparing the custard. In a medium saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk over medium heat until just beginning to steam, but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a small cup, mix the arrowroot powder and cold water to form a slurry.
Slowly add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the coconut milk, stirring constantly to incorporate.
Add the arrowroot powder slurry to the saucepan and continue stirring constantly over low heat until the mixture thickens into a custard, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure it does not come to a boil.
Once thickened, remove the custard from heat and pour it over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the top with desiccated coconut for added texture and flavor.
Allow the custard slice to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before slicing and serving.
Serve chilled, slicing into desired portions. Enjoy your Whole30 custard slice!
