Here we go again, this kiwi dessert well no, it wasn’t the recipe I had decided to make! 😃

In fact, I’ll tell you that this kiwi dessert in the end I think might not even be a dessert, but a snack, a break, a good and healthy light treat based on kiwi, kefir, ricotta, coconut, and a pinch of lemon zest.

There you go, and now that I’ve spoiled the whole recipe for you… why am I even writing the introduction? 😁

Oh, you thought you got away with skipping the introduction, didn’t you? 😄

But no, I can’t not tell you the behind-the-scenes of this kiwi dessert!, which during the process became a kiwi snack, then a kiwi cup, and then a quick kiwi dessert, in short, I remade it four times before finding the right combination of flavors that I liked and deciding on the final kiwi dessert in a small glass (or glass, if you want to double or triple, or more, the doses).

The reason for all this experimentation is that I had to recover from the disappointment of the failed recipe I had prepared. I started off convinced that this time I would manage with a quick recipe, one of those mix-and-go ones… but no. The recipe I had chosen, which was supposed to be a sure thing (taken from a magazine I’ve been keeping in my cuttings archive for decades), unfortunately, terrible reality, it turned out terribly, unusable! 🤷‍♀️

Well, maybe it’s because I replaced the apple with the kiwi? Could it be? But in my mind, mashing an apple or mashing a kiwi shouldn’t have made a difference. Or should it? No, come on, tell me it’s the recipe’s fault! Yes, yes, it definitely is! 🤪

But anyway, it’s really true that nothing ever comes to harm, quite the opposite.

In the end, the beauty of the whole adventure is that that unusable recipe prompted me to roll up my sleeves a bit more, and to achieve (after eating, all by myself, four small glasses… but who cares since they’re light!) – a good, healthy, simple, and yes, yes, light recipe. Just perfect for the most beautiful Monday column there is, the timeless Light and Tasty, today dedicated to essential, indispensable, vital vitamins.

And what could be better than a nice kiwi – rich in vitamins C and K – for our daily dessert, treat, snack, etc.? 🥝🥝🥝
