Ingredients
For the miso caramel dip:
6 tbsp smooth almond butter (unsweetened)
4 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tbsp white miso paste
2 tsp Viridian 100% Raw Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, softened
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 to 4 tbsp almond milk, to loosen
Generous pinch sea salt flakes
Optional functional boost:
Contents of 2 capsules Viridian Organic Maca 500mg (for hormone and mood support)
1 tsp cinnamon or cardamom (for anti-inflammatory warmth)
For the fruit platter:
1 crisp apple (Pink Lady or Jazz), cut into wedges
1 ripe pear, sliced
1 large banana, sliced on the angle or halved lengthways
4 fresh figs, quartered
8 large strawberries, halved or whole with stems
Optional garnishes:
Toasted flaked almonds
Micro-zest of lime or orange
Extra drizzle of miso caramel
Method
In a small saucepan, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, miso, coconut oil and vanilla. Warm gently for around 3 minutes until smooth and glossy.
Gradually add almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach a thick but dippable consistency. Taste and adjust salt or sweetness as needed. Leave to cool.
Arrange the fruit on a platter, grouping by colour for visual contrast.
Spoon the caramel into a small bowl in the centre of the platter. Scatter with toasted almonds, citrus zest and a light drizzle of the dip.
For a fudge-like texture, chill in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
