Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut cream (chilled)
- 30 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 150 g Fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 150 g Fresh mango (peeled and diced)
- 100 g Fresh blueberries
- 100 g Graham crackers (crumbled)
- 10 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before starting.
2. Open the can of chilled coconut cream, scoop out the solid cream, and discard any liquid. Place the solid cream into the chilled mixing bowl.
3. Using an electric mixer, whip the coconut cream on high speed for 2-3 minutes until it becomes fluffy and forms soft peaks.
4. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped coconut cream, and whip for another 1-2 minutes until fully combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
5. Prepare the fruits by hulling and slicing the strawberries, peeling and dicing the mango, and washing the blueberries. Set each fruit aside in separate bowls.
6. In serving glasses or jars, begin layering the ingredients: start with a layer of crumbled graham crackers, followed by whipped coconut cream, and then a layer of strawberries.
7. Continue layering with mango pieces, another layer of whipped coconut cream, and then blueberries.
8. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of whipped coconut cream on top.
9. Garnish each glass with a mint leaf for a fresh touch, if desired.
10. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
