I’m calling this “Over the Rainbow Sauce” because it can be made from a rainbow of colorful fruits and served over just about any dessert. It’s great on banana splits, cheesecakes, muffins, yogurt and don’t forget Wholetarian pancakes and waffles.
Over the Rainbow Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 cups of fresh fruit such as Strawberries, Pineapple, Blueberries, Peaches or a combination of any fruits of choice
- ½ cup of chopped fruit (optional)
- 1 Tbsp of chia seeds blended into a powder (preferably white chia seeds). Chia Seeds are a natural thickener (blueberries contain pectin, and will create its own natural thickener)
- ½ banana, fresh or frozen (optional for added sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 Tbsp of raw honey or 1 date or sweetener of choice
- 2-3 drops of liquid stevia to taste
Instructions
- Start with the chia seeds. Put a Tbsp of chia seeds into a small coffee grinder (not used for coffee). Blend into a powder.
- Put all the ingredients into the blender except for the chopped fruit and stevia.
- Blend until it's the consistency you want.
- Do a taste test and add the stevia or sweetener of choice if you think it needs it or blend in additional fruit if desired.
- Stir in the chopped fruit if using.
- Use at room temperature or cold if desired or warm it up over low heat in a pan on the stove.
- Store in a glass jar or container with a lid in the refrigerator for about a week.
