How About Lemon Custard for July 4th Weekend?

2 Cups Coconut meat
1 tsp. Slippery Elm Powder(only if agar is being used)
1 Cup Coconut water
5 T. Lemon Juice
1 T. Vanilla extract, (only if Vanilla bean is not available)
1 dash Rose Hips water
8-10 Dates, de-pitted and soaked
3-4 Strawberries, sliced, to garnish
1 T. Agave Syrup or raw honey
1 Banana, sliced and soaked in lemon
2 T. psyllium husks or agar agar juice

In a Blender, Vitamix, or other very powerful blender, mix everything but the bananas, strawberries and psyllium. If using vanilla bean (preferably), cut vertically and scoop out insides and add to blender. If using psyllium, add in small amounts at a time at the very end. Taste for sweetness and adjust according to taste. Pour into individual serving bowls and allow to sit in a refrigerator and chill for 3-4 hours. Just prior to serving, garnish with strawberries and bananas.
