Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated for 24 hours
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup or more depending on the sweetness of your berries
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 or 2 teaspoons chia seeds, optional
- unsweetened organic shredded coconut for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Thaw raspberries if using frozen ones.
- Open the can of coconut milk and carefully remove the solid portion. Put it in a medium mixing bowl. Save the liquid in the can for your morning smoothie.
- Whip the coconut milk solids with an electric mixer until doubled in size. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or more or less, depending on your preference) and whip until very well combined and fluffy.
- Mash half of the berries. Fold them into half of the whipped coconut milk. Add a teaspoon or two of chia seeds to thicken if you think it's too runny.
- Layer in serving dishes. Begin with a few whole berries, then the raspberry mixture, the whipped coconut milk and top off with more berries and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
