Method: 

Mix the citrus juice with the arrowroot flour in a small saucepan. Add the coconut cream, the zest and the maple syrup.

Whisk over medium temperature until it makes small bubbles and start thickening. Must leave a trace on the top.

Remove from heat. Adjust the taste with more zest if you like it very sour or more maple syrup and wait 10-15 min. Whisk one more time properly and transfer in small glass jar (like the one used for yogurt. It will make 4-5 of them.
