- 120 g plain soy or coconut yogurt
- 60 ml pure maple syrup

For the Strawberry Topping:

- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 120 ml water
- ½ teaspoon agar-agar powder (NOT agar flakes)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Combine coconut flakes, almonds, and salt in a food processor. Blend for 1-2 minutes, add dates, and blend until a dough forms. Press this mixture into the base of an 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper.
- Make the Filling: Blend all filling ingredients until smooth. Pour over the crust and tap to remove air bubbles. Freeze for about an hour.
- Create the Topping: Toss strawberries with sugar and let sit for 30-60 minutes. Strain and boil the juices with water and agar-agar, stirring constantly. Simmer for 3 minutes.
