Gooseberry Baobab and Almond Dessert came about to celebrate my friend, Michelle’s birthday. It was a warm gorgeous sunny evening and the sun was streaming through my flat. I had just come from work. I was time limited and I wanted to create something simply and nourishing. In this recipe I use frozen gooseberries. Ideally they would have been fresh in the first instance. I like the way, an hour before I started I de-thawed the gooseberry – this means that as you bite into a gooseberry this delicious mouth-watery texture hits the palate and then you get the taste of the creamy dessert. Love it. Thanks, Michelle…

Blanched almonds, I purchase from a nifty Asian outlet in Hayes.  It has an online presence too which can be found here – I love it because it is reasonably priced and tends to be good quality stuff which I use.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
