Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g). Source for sugars and saturated fat: Portuguese Food Composition Database (Base de Dados da Composição de Alimentos), Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge, I. P. — INSA, v 7.1 - 2026.

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Layered orange and coconut cream

Two colors, two textures, and a dessert that looks like it came from a pastry shop.

Rico's note: Make this when you want to serve something beautiful at a dinner without spending the afternoon in the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 480 ml (2 cups) fresh orange juice
  • 2 oranges, zest only (4 g)
  • 3 tbsp agar-agar powder (24 g / ¾ oz)
  • 4 Medjool dates, blended into a paste (96 g / 3½ oz)
  • 300 ml (1¼ cups) coconut cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 g)

Method

  1. Make the orange cream: heat the orange juice with half the agar-agar until it boils.
  2. Add half the blended dates and the orange zest, stir and remove from the heat.
