Thin fruit slices as skewed solar cells, with coconut crumble as crumbling solar park.
A minimalist dessert of thin mango and kiwi slices, lined up like solar cells on a white plate. The rows collapse halfway, with coconut crumble scattered like fallen parts, referencing the failing German solar farms from the news.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 3 kiwis
- 40 g shredded coconut
- 40 g oats
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 lemon
- 4 tbsp low-fat quark
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Mix shredded coconut, oats, sunflower oil, and honey into a crumbly mixture.
- Spread on baking paper and bake for 8 minutes until lightly browned. Let cool.
- Peel the mangoes and kiwis. Slice into thin, rectangular pieces about 0.5 cm thick.
- Juice the lemon and sprinkle some over the fruit to prevent browning.
- Take a large white plate. Spread a stripe of quark in the center as a base.
- Arrange the mango and kiwi slices in three neat rows as solar cells. Let the last row collapse by laying the slices askew and loose.
- Sprinkle the coconut crumble near the collapsed side, as broken-off parts.
Serving notes
- Serve with empty space on the plate for extra austerity.
- Keep the skewed cells visible as a nod to the bankrupt solar park.
