Serves: 2
RecipeIngredients
- ¾ cup cooked sweet potato noodles
- 2 tbsp basil seeds or chia seeds (omit for AIP)
- 1½ cups coconut milk, homemade or store bought at room temperature
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup (per taste)
- ⅛ tsp or 2-3 dropsrose extract or rose water (for AIP)
For the smoothie ice cream:
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup frozen cherries
- 1 scoop collagen (optional, omit for vegan)
- ¼ cup coconut cream (top thick part from a coconut milk can)
- pinch sea salt
RecipeInstructions
- Cook the sweet potato noodles per package instructions and drain the water. Cut the noodles using kitchen shears to about 2 inches length. Add the noodles to half of the coconut milk (3/4 cup). Add the maple syrup and the rose extract to this and stir. Keep aside.
- Divide the rest of the coconut milk in 2 serving glasses. Add 1 tbsp of the basil seeds (or chia seeds) to each of the glasses. stir to mix so that all the seeds are submerged in the coconut milk. Keep this aside at room temperature for the seeds to gel (about 30 mins)
- Just before serving the falooda, add all the ingredients for the smoothie into a blender / food processor and blend until you get a smooth, nice cream like consistency.
- To serve the falooda, to each serving glass, add half of the noodle and milk mixture on top of the basil/chia layer. And then finally add the smoothie ice-cream on top! Serve immediately!
Notes
Cut the noodles to a manageable length as instructed in the recipe above otherwise it is hard to eat this dessert with a spoon!
Rose extracts are highly concentrated so just 2-3 drops are enough for a good flavor. You can also use rose flavored water or dried rose petals.
For an AIP version, omit the chia / basil seeds and you could use tapioca pearl pudding instead for the first layer.
