Leave a commentJuly 1, 2012 by keirstenalana
This is an easy, quick dessert recipe that is perfect for summer BBQs and the 4th of July. Prepare it in a decorative glass for dessert at home, or layer the ingredients in a mason/bell jar for traveling BBQs! And this time of year, you can get all three fruit ingredients locally!
Ingredients:
1 can coconut milk (full fat, refrigerated for best consistency)
1-2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups organic blueberries, cold
1 cup organic raspberries, cold
1-2 cups organic strawberries, cold
*Colder ingredients will keep the layers best
Keep the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight, for at least for a few hours
Open the can and scrape off the cream at the top; do not use the separated “water” at the bottom
Whip the coconut milk with the vanilla; put back in the refrigerator for at least an hour
Rinse and dry all berries
Slice the strawberries so they layer easily
Begin to layer your fruit and whipped coconut, in any order desired
*topped with coconut cream from recipe and fresh mint
