Strawberry Rhubarb Jello

Cuisine Desserts, Healthy Snacks & Sides
Servings 6 1/2 Cup Servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cups Fresh or Frozen Strawberries
  • 2 Cups Fresh or Frozen Rhubarb
  • 1/4 Cup plus 1 TBSP Honey Divided
  • 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
  • 1 16OZ Coconut Cream My Favorite brand is Trader Joe's. Use the cream only & use coconut water for smoothies.

Instructions
 

  • In a one quart sauce pan bring strawberries and rhubarb to a low simmer till both fruits are unthawed and rhubarb is soft. If your fruits are fresh add 1/4 cup cup water or just enough water to cover the bottom of the sauce pan. Both rhubarb and strawberries make a lot of juice which is perfect for jello.
  • Once fruits are softened, mix in 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 Cup chia seeds. Place lid onto sauce pan and refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours. The jello needs too completely chill and chia seeds need time to gel for the jello to thicken.
  • Refrigerate the coconut cream overnight so that the cream & coconut water separate. Right before serving, make the coconut cream. Remove the cream and place in a mixing bowl, using a hand or stand beater beat the cream until it's light and fluffy. The coconut cream is sweet enough for me without any added sweetness but you could certainly add a tablespoon honey if desired.
  • Once you are ready to serve the jello, place individual servings in small glass bowls. Last but not least place a big dollop of coconut cream onto each serving of Jello with a fresh strawberry in the middle for garnish. Serve immediately or refrigerate till ready to serve.
