If your coconut butter is solid, warm to a liquid first, we're working in 36 degrees here today. So it's very hot. Check that you have a very fine paste, continue to churn if necessary and set aside. Whisk the aqua fava until white, stiff and fluffy. We found we get the best results in a tall, narrow pot, rather than mixing in a large open bowl. And using a double whisk does it very quickly. If you're doing this with a hand whisk, use a large open bowl but it will take longer. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea puree and raspberries. Fold in the whipped aqua fava thoroughly. Spoon the raspberry mixture on top of the granola, filling each glass evenly. Refrigerate to set, depending again, on the size of your dessert, allow a minimum of 2 to 4 hours. 9.
