This Berries & Coconut Cream recipe is a luscious blend of vibrant flavors and creamy textures that feels indulgent yet refreshing.
Not only is this dish a feast for the senses, but it’s also a breeze to prepare, taking less than 15 minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
for the coconut cream:
- 1 can full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon oil (optional, but delicious)
for the berries:
- a few cups mixed fresh berries
- a few teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (scraped from 1 pod), optional*
- pinch of salt
serve with:
- chopped & toasted pecans, or this no-bake crumble
- cinnamon, for dusting
Instructions
- Refrigerate your can of coconut cream overnight (or longer).
- For the berries: slice and place them in a bowl with some sugar, the vanilla bean paste, and a tiny pinch of salt. Let them sit for 20 minutes or longer at room temp. The juices will extract and the berries will sweeten and soften.
- Open your chilled can of coconut milk and scoop only the solid part off the top, be very careful not to mix it with the watery part underneath. Save the watery liquid for another use and place the solid part into your mixing bowl.
- Using a stand or a hand mixer, mix it until it's whipped. It should take less than a minute.
- Sift your powdered sugar to remove any lumps and mix it into your cream along with a pinch of salt, vanilla, and lemon oil.
- Scoop berries into bowls, top with toasted pecans, a dollop of cream, and a dusting of cinnamon.
