Ingredients

18 large and perfect basil leaves
6 tablespoons freshly ground natural peanut butter
9 pieces of crystallized ginger, preferably long and flat
2 tablespoons unsweetened dried coconut shreds

Directions

1

Spread the inner side of each basil leaf with a very thin layer of peanut butter. Don't be tempted to use more or you'll overwhelm the basil flavor.
2

Sliver the crystallized ginger lengthwise and lay two long strips lengthwise on each basil leaf, leaving the ginger poking out of the top of the leaf. Sprinkle each leaf with a few shreds of coconut, again leaving some visible at the top of the leaf.
3

Roll up each leaf and hold closed with a decorative toothpick. Serve within an hour, so the basil doesn't wilt.
