Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and we have a yummy treat to sweeten things up that is very low in sugar, dairy free, gluten free, corn free, soy free, egg free, and vegan if modified....full disclosure there is a good bit of fat from the coconut milk, but hey it's a holiday!
Berry Good Parfait -servings 3
Ingredients
- 1 can full fat coconut milk refridgerated for a minimun of 6 hours
- 1/2 t vanilla extract
- 1 T honey or 1/2 T maple syrup for a vegan option
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
Instructions
- Open the can of coconut milk from the bottom to drain the liquid.
- Scoop out the rest of the solidified coconut milk into a large bowl and whip until the consistency of whipped cream. (Don't get discouraged this took me about 10 minutes of whipping, but it will get there.)
- Mix in the vanilla extract and the honey or maple syrup
- In another bowl take 1/2 cup of raspberries and mash them
- Take 1/2 of the coconut cream and fold in the mashed rasperries
- Layer the rasperry/coconut cream, fresh berries, plain coconut cream and more berries.
- Enjoy!
