Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cool running water, gently patting them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, carefully combine the coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together until they are smooth and well integrated, creating a creamy and slightly sweet sauce.
- Prepare serving dishes by selecting two clean, attractive dessert bowls or glasses that will showcase the vibrant colors of the berries.
- Divide the mixed berries evenly between the two serving dishes, arranging them in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
- Gently pour the prepared coconut cream mixture over the berries, ensuring an even distribution that allows the cream to cascade around and between the fruit.
- Optional: For added visual appeal and texture, garnish with a few additional fresh berries or a light sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top.
- Serve immediately while the coconut cream is cool and the berries are fresh, enjoying the dessert at room temperature.
Tips
- Berry Selection Matters: Choose ripe, fresh berries at the peak of their season for the most vibrant flavors and colors.
- Chill for Extra Luxury: For an even more refreshing experience, chill your coconut cream mixture and serving dishes beforehand.
- Texture Tricks: Pat berries completely dry to prevent watery pooling and maintain the cream's luxurious consistency.
- Presentation is Key: Use clear glasses or white dishes to showcase the beautiful colors of the berries and cream.
- Customize Your Garnish: Experiment with toasted coconut flakes, mint leaves, or a light dusting of cinnamon for added flair.
- Make It Ahead: While best served fresh, you can prepare the coconut cream mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
