Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dates, seeds removed, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup macadamia nuts, chopped

  • 1-2 tbs Bioglan Cacao Powder
  • Maple syrup, optional
  • 3 fresh mangoes, skin and pip removed
  • 2 x 400mL cans coconut cream, chilled in fridge

    Step 1.
    To make the crumble, combine the dates, nuts, coconut, spices, collagen and cacao in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add a dash of maple syrup if moisture is needed.

    Step 2.
    For the mango layers, place 2 mangoes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Dice the remaining mango, finely.

    Step 3.
    For the coconut layer, spoon the coconut cream into a bowl and using an electric mixer, whisk until soft peaks form.

    Step 4.
    To assemble the trifle, place some of the crumble mix into the bottom of a glass, layer with the mango puree, whipped coconut cream, diced mango, and finish with some chopped macadamia nuts and shredded coconut.
