Light Italian Palha: Healthy and Easy Recipe
Light Italian Straw: Easy and Healthy Dessert Recipe
Sweets are always appreciated by everyone, and Italian straw is no exception. Recently, I found a recipe for vegan Italian straw and decided to try an adapted version. I chose not to make it 100% vegan since I used lactose-free milk, but you can substitute almond milk to make the recipe fully vegan and light.
The result was a light Italian straw delicious and made with natural ingredients. Check below the step-by-step guide to prepare this practical and nutritious dessert!
Ingredients for Light Italian Straw
- 1 packet of Schar Digestive biscuits without chocolate (or another vegan gluten-free biscuit) – 250g
- 250g of green banana biomass (see how to make it here)
- 4 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100ml of almond milk (can be replaced with coconut or nut milk)
- 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
- Aluminum foil to line the pan
How to Prepare Light Italian Straw: Step by Step
Now, let’s make this delicious treat with fewer calories and natural ingredients that please everyone.
- Coarsely crush the biscuits in a food processor and set aside.
- In a blender, place the green banana biomass, cocoa powder, plant milk, and brown sugar. Blend until you get a smooth mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a preheated heavy-bottomed pan over low heat.
- Stir constantly until the cream thickens. Taste and, if necessary, add more brown sugar.
- Turn off the heat and fold in half of the crushed biscuits.
- Line a small pan with aluminum foil and evenly spread half of the cream.
- Add the remaining biscuits on top and spread well.
- Cover with the remaining cream, leveling it to finish.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
- Remove from the fridge and cut into cubes in the traditional Italian straw style.
Nutritionist’s Tip: For a special touch, sprinkle fine demerara sugar on top before serving, making your light Italian straw even tastier!
