Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 ounce can of full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts (filberts)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, optional

Instructions

  1. THE NIGHT BEFORE: Put the coconut milk in the fridge for at least 8 hours. If you forget, you can put it in the freezer for about 1 hour but don’t let it freeze solid. If you have room in the fridge or freezer, chill your mixing bowl and beaters, too.
  2. Open the BOTTOM of the cold coconut milk can with a standard can opener and drain the liquid into a bowl. Reserve.
  3. Scoop the cold coconut fat into the cold mixing bowl, add the vanilla and beat on high speed for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add a tablespoon or two of the reserved coconut water if the mixture seems too “dry”.
  5. Continue beating on high speed for another 1-3 minutes until it looks like whipped cream!
  6. Refrigerate until ready to use. It will stay whipped and fluffy for several hours.
  7. Place the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Shake frequently and toast the nuts for about 5 minutes. Pour onto a clean towel, wrap them up and roll them around to remove the skins. Coarsely chop peeled nuts.
  8. Arrange coconut cream, sliced berries and chopped nuts on serving plates. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you like a bit more sweetness.
