Written by Daniel Davis and appropriated from thesattvickitchen.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups apple juice
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup dark raisins, washed
  • 2 tsp agar powder
  • 1 cup cashew nuts
  • 1 tbsp brown rice syrup

Instructions

  1. Bring apple juice, apple, raisins and agar to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Pour into individual bowls and let cool. The agar will gel as it cools.
  3. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the cashews. Cook for 10 minutes until they are soft.
  4. Strain cashews and put in a blender with a little of the cooking water.
  5. Add rice syrup and blend into a creamy paste.
  6. Add cream to the top of the apple kanten and garnish with some black sesame or roasted cashews.

Notes

  • Agar agar is the Malaysian word for jelly and is a natural and vegetarian substitute for gelatine (Kanten is the Japanese word for it). Wikihow has more details if you are curious.
  • It's generally easier to find agar powder than raw agar (which looks like a a long stringy white seaweed). If you get the seaweed form you need to use a lot more of it, in this recipe use about a cup (a decent hand sized chunk of strips).
  • Brown rice syrup can be hard to find, honey makes a good (though less Macrobiotic) substitute.
