Roasted Strawberries + Coconut Whipped Cream

There’s always room for dessert especially when it looks like this… Fresh strawberries, coconut whipped cream and a hazelnut, ginger crumble – need we say more? The perfect light finish to a day of eating this Valentine's Day.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

1 can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
1 tbsp maple syrup*
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
500g strawberries, halved
2 tbsp coconut oil*, melted
1 tbsp honey*

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place a bowl and electric beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill (you can also use an immersion blender to whip the cream, just chill the blender stick and bowl in the freezer before using).

Remove the coconut milk from the fridge. Scoop out the solids from the can and place them in the chilled bowl (save the liquid for a smoothie or another use.) Add the maple syrup and vanilla paste to the bowl and using an electric beater, beat the mixture until smooth and fluffy. Taste test and adjust sweetness if necessary.

Toss the strawberries with the coconut oil and honey. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and roast in the oven until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Toss berries halfway through roasting.

Serve with the coconut whipped cream and hazelnut ginger crumble (below).

 

Ingredients:

Hazelnut Ginger Crumble:
1 cup hazelnuts, ground
1⁄2 cup oat flour
1⁄2 cup coconut flour
3 tbsp coconut oil*, melted
2 tbsp coconut sugar

Method:

Cook for approx. 15 minutes or until golden and crunchy. Store any leftovers in a snap lock container.
