Raspberries are in season. Woohoo. I love fresh raspberries so much! Tart flavor, velvety texture… and they are so Goddamn pretty! So pretty in fact, that I just feel I have to eat them on a ‘special’ occasion, or do something ‘special’ with them. Or eat them extremely slow so I can enjoy them for more days. But they are also very delicate and will go moldy very quick. And you don’t want those precious little gems to grow green hair now do you?
So here’s two tips that will let you make the most out of your raspberries and make you feel special :1. eat the the same day you pick/buy them for full quality. 2.eat them with vanilla custard.. But not just any custard. A vegan, coconut milk based vanilla custard. You will thank me later!
Ingredients for 2 servings
-400ml[1 can] light coconut milk/ 400μλ ελαφρύ γάλα καρύδας
-3tbsp agave syrup/ 3κ.σ. σιρόπι αγαύης
-1 vanilla pod/ 1 κλαράκι βανίλια
-2 tbsp custard powder or cornflour*/ 2 κ.σ. custard powder ή κορνφλουρ
-1/2 cup fresh raspberries/1/2 κούπα φρέσκα κόκκινα μούρα
*The custard powder I use is basically cornflour with annatto and curcumin that give the custard a nice color and natural vanilla flavor [which is very mild]

First open vanilla pod and scrape the beans out with a knife. Add coconut milk in a pot with the vanilla beans and the agave syrup. Dissolve the cornflour in a bowl with 2 tbsp of coconut milk. Bring pot to boil and add in the cornflour mixture, whisking continuously. Turn off heat and continue whisking until it thickens, about 2 minutes more. Pour custard in pots and let them cool. Top with fresh raspberries!
Πρώτα ανοίξτε το κλαράκι της βανίλιας και με τη βοήθεια ενός μαχαιριού ξύστε έξω τα σποράκια. Σε ένα κατσαρολάκι βάλτε το γάλα καρύδας, τα σποράκια της βανίλιας και το σιρόπι αγαύης. Σε ένα μπωλάκια διαλύστε το κορνφλουρ με λίγο γάλα καρύδας. Αφήστε το μείγμα στην κατσαρόλα να βράσει, και ρίξτε μέσα το μείγμα του κορνφλουρ. Ανακατεύετε συνεχώς με το σύρμα, σβήνετε τη φωτιά και συνεχίζετε το ανακατεμα μέχρι να πήξει, περίπου 2 λεπτά. Χύστε το μείγμα σε ατομικά βαζάκια και αφήστε το να κρυώσει για να πήξει περισσότερο. Σερβίρετε με κόκκινα μούρα από πάνω.

DELICIOUS!… just made it but added 3 egg yolks because I had them left over and wow did it thicken up really quickly with the custard powder as well. It is inspiring me to try something adventurous with this recipe
