Recipe for 8 persons

500 ml coconut milk
90 g sugar
1 vanilla pod
50g chia seeds
1 orange
½ vanilla pod
2 g ground cinnamon
1 whole piece of star anise
100 g margarine
90 g sugar
200 g flour
Pinch of salt
Half a tonka bean, grated
250 ml blood-orange juice (freshly squeezed or purée)
250 ml orange juice (freshly squeezed)
190 g sugar
10 g lemon juice
2 g carob gum (health food shop)

Method

Coconut and chia pudding

Bring coconut milk, sugar and scraped-out vanilla pod to the boil in a pan. Remove pan from heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes before stirring in chia seeds. Stir mixture repeatedly with a balloon whisk and leave in a cool place for a few hours, ideally overnight.

Spicy oranges

Peel the orange and carefully cut into fillets. Mix orange fillets with vanilla, cinnamon and star anise and leave to marinate for an hour.

Tonka bean crumble

Combine margarine, sugar, salt and grated tonka bean until smooth. Add flour and combine until a streusel forms. Spread streusel on a baking tray with wax paper and bake for around 10 minutes at 180°C until golden brown. Then leave to cool.

Blood-orange sorbet

Combine sugar with carob gum. Boil up blood orange and orange juice and add sugar. Thoroughly combine juice and flour and let simmer again briefly. Leave liquid to cool and then freeze in an ice cream maker.

Tip: Globus has edible flowers and cress that you can use for a garnish. You can buy blood-orange purée online at www.bosfood.de.
