Recipes Drinks
This drink brings the 'rice pudding' experience, but without the heavy carbs, full of probiotics. The mixture of coconut milk and kefir creates a balance between plant and animal flavours: the coconut's sweetness softens the kefir's tart edge, while cinnamon sneaks warmth into the cooling drink. A perfect 'guilt-free' dessert when you crave something sweet and creamy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Optional trick: toast the desiccated coconut in a dry frying pan until golden brown for a few minutes. This gives it a nuttier, more intense flavour.

Tip: Be careful, coconut burns in moments due to its oil content!
2 ✓

In a bowl, mix the kefir with the thick coconut milk. This provides the creamy base.

Tip: The fat in coconut milk coats the tongue, so we feel the kefir's acidity less.
3 ✓

Add the honey, vanilla and cinnamon, then mix until lump-free.

Tip: Cinnamon tends to float on top of liquid (hydrophobic), be patient when mixing, or mix it with the honey first.
4 ✓

Sprinkle in the (toasted) desiccated coconut and fold together.

Tip: The coconut adds texture, so you have to chew the drink too, which aids digestion.
5 ✓

Place in the fridge for 1 hour. During this time, the coconut soaks up moisture and softens.

Tip: The colder it is, the more the spiced flavours come out.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use a stick instead of ground cinnamon?
Only if you steep it for a long time (several hours). The powder flavours immediately.
What coconut milk should I choose?
Canned, full-fat coconut milk gives the creamiest texture.
