Gluten-Free Poppy Seed Noodles (Mákos Tészta) with Coconut Cream

Ingredients

• 1 lb Gluten-Free Noodles (e.g., rice noodles)
• 1/2 cup Poppy Seeds
• 1 can Coconut Cream
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce

Instructions

1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat (approximately 212°F / 100°C). Add the 1 lb of Gluten-Free Noodles and cook for 7-9 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still firm to the bite.
2. 2While the noodles are cooking, place the 1/2 cup of Poppy Seeds into a spice grinder or food processor. Grind until the poppy seeds are finely ground, resembling a coarse powder.
3. 3In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 can of Coconut Cream and the 2 tbsp of Honey. Heat over low heat (approximately 200°F / 93°C) for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
4. 4Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the ground 1/2 cup of Poppy Seeds, the 1/2 tsp of Vanilla Extract, and the 1/4 cup of Unsweetened Applesauce until well combined and the sauce is uniform in texture.
5. 5Once cooked, carefully drain the 1 lb of Gluten-Free Noodles using a colander. Add the drained noodles directly into the saucepan with the poppy seed sauce and toss gently until the noodles are evenly coated.
6. 6Serve the Gluten-Free Poppy Seed Noodles warm.
