Lemon Curd Collagen Slice
Yield: 10 pieces
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 12 MinTotal time: 22 Min
Ingredients
Base Layer
- 100g Almond Meal
- 20g Adashiko Pure Collagen Powder
- 3 TBSP melted Coconut Oil
- 1.5 TBSP Maple Syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground Cardamom
Curd Jelly Layer
- 6 Egg yolks
- 2 TBSP Gelatin powder
- 2/3 cup Lemon juice
- 1 heaped TBSP Lemon zest
- 4 TBSP Maple Syrup
- 70g melted Coconut Oil
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla bean paste
Instructions
To prepare the base
- Line a standard loaf tin with baking or compostable cling film. Set aside.
- Mix together dry ingredients with a fork until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients and still until well incorporated.
- Press the mixture into the base of the prepared tin. Cover and refrigerate whilst you make the topping.
To make the topping and finish
- In a medium sized saucepan add the lemon juice and zest and mix gently. sprinkle over the gelatin and leave for 2-3 minutes to bloom. This process happens quite quickly and should be jelly like without any obvious moisture.
- Pour over the rest of the ingredients and combine well.
- Warm the saucepan over a medium heat, stirring constantly. turn down to medium-low and stir consistently for 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and a curd is formed. The mixture should be smooth, silky and slightly thick - enough to coat the back of a spoon. This change will happen subtly - do not overcook.
- Take off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature stirring occasionally to speed the process and avoid a skin forming.
- Once cooled pour over the base and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Lift out the slice and cut into pieces with a hot knife. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar if you like. Stores in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
