GLUTEN NOTE: This is one of the few recipes in this cookbook that contains gluten (from

the whole wheat filo) I have included this recipe because because it is an interesting

dessert but simply can not be made without gluten because filo needs to be made with a

flour containing gluten to achieve the desired effect The recipe in the form shown below is

not suitable for people who want to or need to avoid gluten The custard is free of gluten

and can be served in a variety of other ways

A simple dessert when you don't have a lot of time

CUSTARD

grams whole wheat filo thawed

(the weight of different filos varies)

(overall you need "x" sheets)

ounces orange juice frozen concentrate

/ cups water

tablespoons brown rice syrup

tablespoons maple syrup

pinch sea salt

GARNISH

/ cup fresh strawberries halved

tablespoon orange zest

tablespoons tapioca

/ teaspoon ground nutmeg

/ cup orange slices

(both from half an orange)

/ cup strawberry topping (optional)

tablespoons Grand Marnier (or other liqueur)

Combine juice water brown rice syrup maple syrup and pinch salt in sauce pan and bring to slow simmer Add

tapioca and heat until thick and tapioca is clear (about to minutes) Add nutmeg and liqueur and remove

from heat

Using a muffin tin cut out small squares of filo so they fit into the muffin wells (and up the sides of the wells)

making a cup when pressed in (about " by " squares) Layer squares of filo on top of one another with a little

walnut oil (or canola oil) brushed on each sheet and press into a muffin well Repeat for all muffin wells in the

muffin tin Briefly bake just long enough to make a crisp cup (about minutes at degrees F ( degrees C))

(

see Filo in the "Glossary of Ingredients" for more information)

Spoon custard into filo cups place on plates and decorate plates with fresh strawberries orange zest and slices

and lines of strawberry topping (basically thinned strawberry preserves) Lines of strawberry topping are easily

made with a ketchup bottle if available

VARIATIONS:

To make something similar without any gluten (that is without filo) simply make the custard and serve in cups

or glasses

For a richer version of this dessert (which has more fat) use coconut and/or nut milk (eg almond or cashew

milk/cream) in place of water

Use Amaretto in place of the Grand Marnier

As the sweetener any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple syrup brown rice syrup barley malt syrup
