Lorraine’s Strawberries with Crème

Aug 15, 2024 | Sweets and Treats

Summertime in our neck of the woods means the strawberries are fresh and ripe for picking. For generations, this sweet fruit has been served laden with heavy sugars and creams. This tradition is now being kept alive with a Paleo version to honor the desserts made for us by our great-grandmothers.

SERVES 4

• 2 cups sliced strawberries
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup fresh, full-fat coconut milk

1. Place a copper bowl and a whisk in the freezer to chill for thirty minutes. Place strawberries in a medium bowl and add vanilla. Stir gently to mix. Cover and refrigerate for thirty minutes.

2. Pour coconut milk into copper bowl and whisk until mixture thickens slightly. Place berries in small bowls and top with coconut crème.
