Healthy Recipe Ideas
Coconut Cookie & Yogurt Parfait

Health Benefits
This parfait balances the cookie's sweetness with protein from yogurt and vitamins from fresh fruit.
No-Bake Coconut Cookie Pie Crust
1. Finely crush about 10-12 coconut cookies. 2. Mix the crumbs with 3-4 tablespoons of melted butter until combined. 3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish. 4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before adding a no-bake filling like fruit cream or chocolate mousse.
Health Benefits
Creates a quick dessert base that can be filled with healthier, homemade fruit or yogurt-based fillings.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, such as raising agents (INS 503(ii), 500(ii), 450(i)) and emulsifiers (INS 322, 472e), are generally permitted by FSSAI. However, the product contains artificial flavouring substances and INS 223 (a sulphite), which can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Overall risk is low for the general population but notable for those with sensitivities.

Marketing Claims
