Strawberry Peach Bavarois (vegan & grain-free)

Grain-free vegan light healthy summer dessert with beautiful creamy strawberry and peach layers.

Happy July my beautiful! Hope your month has started well? I’ve been on a bit of a standstill over here for a couple of weeks feeling really unwell and only slowly returning back to normal. I can’t even remember needing so much time out, probably since giving birth to my son 10 years ago! But everything happens for a reason and I’ve had many revelations during this time of pain that wouldn’t have arrived otherwise. And as always I am grateful for it all.

I’ve made this Strawberry Peach Bavarois in June and finally bringing this recipe to you today. It’s a light healthy summer dessert with beautiful creamy strawberry and peach layers. Simple enough to make and you could add your own twist and seasonal fruit combination.

I have some exciting news as well! I’ve started working on an online course! Many of you have been asking me and I’ve finally got the courage to stand in front of the camera, not just behind it! I will be teaching you how to create beautiful delicious plant-based cakes. It will be a seasonal course and I’m hoping to bring you the first one in August.

My last Bavarois recipe is so popular that I really wanted to create another version for you. You can use peaches or nectarines in here, sweet and juicy the best. This time I’ve used coconut cream instead of oat cream and you have a choice to use whichever one you prefer. Depending on the sweetness of the fruit you can add little more maple syrup, see how it tastes to you. Dried figs could be replaced with dates or dried apricots. Enjoy the recipe!

Instructions

3. Once ready leave to cool down slightly, and pour onto the crust.
4. Place into a fridge for about half to an hour to set.

Peach layer:
