#SLOWLIFE: TRIO OF VEGAN JELLY CAKES #FINESTXMASMOMENTS
I made this Trio of Vegan Jelly Cakes for Alessandra that is definitely looking like #Christmas! Loved the idea that I could use #organic raspberries and some of the freshest fruits readily available at FairPrice Finest.
The first is made from coconut cream, layered with coconut water and pomegranate seeds. The second, red and green globe grapes in coconut water and lastly, raspberries in coconut cream, topped with dark chocolate nibs.
This recipe can be made ahead of the Christmas party to keep your party fuss free, so that you can truly enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. After all, the best pairing for good food is good company.
