Sweet Bruschetta Recipe –

Ingredients:

Oats, ragi or whole wheat bruschetta bread slices

Coconut milk cream: 1 small tetra pack

Powdered stevia/honey/maple syrup (or any healthy sugar substitute)

Vanilla essence: 1 tsp

Seasonal fruits of preference such as: strawberries, oranges, blueberries, kiwi, etc.

Mint leaves for garnishing

Method:

Bread: Cut the cylindrical bruschetta or any bread of your choice in slices of about 1 inch thickness. Spread the bread slices on a baking tray and bake for 5-7 mins at 200 F or simply toast them in a toaster for a crispy base.

Whipped Cream: In a big bowl, pour some water and add 7-8 cubes of ice. In the same bowl, keep a smaller bowl that doesn’t sink (this step can be ignored). In the smaller bowl, add 1 pack of heavy coconut milk cream and whisk it with a whisker on low speed for about a minute or so. After a minute, manually whip it again for a few seconds. Go again with the whisker, this time on a medium to high speed for 5-6 minutes or more, if required. Add your choice of sugar substitute and vanilla essence towards the end. The correct way to check the consistency of the whipped cream is if the cream makes a stiff peak on the whisker that stays intact. The cream should not be over whipped.

Topping: Chop about 2-3 variety of fruits of your choice into small cubes of about 1 cm. Don’t chop finely; let the natural mélange of colours of fruits come through.

Dressing: To plate the bruschetta, take the freshly toasted bread slices and spread the whipped coconut milk cream generously on the top. On top of the coconut frosting, place the chopped fruits. Garnish each piece with 1-2 mint leaves.

There you have it – a yummy and healthy dessert for when you are craving some sweets!
