2 canned coconut milk or cream (chilled overnight in the refrigerator)
4 tablespoons agave syrup, honey or other sweetener
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 160°C.

Bake for 20 minutes. Then remove from oven and stir the granola. Bake for minutes more. Watch carefully not to burn the mixture.
Remove again from oven, stir add the chopped walnuts and sunflower seeds, bake for 5 more minutes at 150°C.

Layer the ¾ of a small jar with granola, then add 2 tablespoons of the coconut cream and top it with strawberries.

COCONAT CREAM

Chill your coconut cream or coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight, being sure not to shake the can to ease separation of the cream and liquid.
Remove the coconut milk or cream from the fridge, remove the lid. Scrape out the top, thickened cream and leave the liquid behind [reserve it in the fridge for smoothies or cooking rice etc].
Place thick cream in a mixing bowl. Stir for 30 seconds with a Balloon whisk until smooth and creamy.
Then add vanilla, zest, lemon juice and honey and mix until creamy and smooth - about 1 minute. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Store in the refrigerator.
