Lemon Drops

DifficultyBeginner

Immune boosting recipe no.3: Lemon drops. Lemon is a great source of Vitamin C which is critical for our immune system. With time and ease of preparation in mind, I have cheated a little with this recipe and used store bought gow gee wrappers. You can find gluten-free wrappers at some health food stores otherwise there are recipes online too. These wrappers go so crispy once baked and work perfectly as a cup or tartlet alternative.

INGREDIENTS
For lemon drops (makes 15):
 15 Gow Gee wrappers
 1 cup Cashew nuts (soaked in water 2-6 hours or overnight)
 1 Lemon
 2 tbsp Coconut oil
 2 tbsp Maple syrup
METHOD
For lemon drops:
1

Preheat the oven to 170°C.

2

Coat 15 cups of a mini muffin tray with coconut oil spray and place a gow gee wrapper in each cavity.

3

Spread the wrapper around to form a cup shape, cut off excess edges if required. Lightly spritz the wrappers with coconut oil.

4

Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cups sit in the baking tray for 5 minutes. Transfer the cups to a wire rack to cool completely.

5

Zest lemon and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon to use in the lemon cream.

6

To make lemon cream, blitz all remaining ingredients, pre-soaked and drained cashew nuts, lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut oil and maple syrup in a food processor until creamy.

7

Transfer mix into a piping bag if you have one and carefully pipe into each cup. Otherwise, you can also spoon the mixture into each cup.

Set in fridge for 1-2 hours and enjoy!
