Coconut Gelatina: The Simple Summer Dessert

This cool and creamy dessert gives you a mouthful of a smooth custard, while satisfying that summertime desire for ice cream. A simple 5-ingredient recipe that takes no more than 15 minutes to make, you can stack individual servings in your fridge for a a mid-day treat or sweet delight at the end of a meal. I learned about this dessert while cooking at Three Stone Hearth in Berkeley, a prepared food haven focusing on the Weston A. Price traditional diet. I would make racks and racks of gelatinas with various fruit toppings. Every time I brought one home, Jackson and I savored it. Never heavy or overly sweet, yet so satisfying. I hope this recipe offers old-fashioned summertime nostalgia, while leaving behind the sugar overload and nourishing your belly with healthy fats, gut healing gelatin, and raw honey.
