SCD Strawberries with Coconut Whipped Cream

Pin It

The grand finale of our Valentine's Day dinner was this great SCD dessert. It couldn't be easier and tastes really sinful and decadent without being all that bad for you. Strawberries and whipped cream are the quintessential romantic dessert and this version does not disappoint.

20 fresh or frozen strawberries
1 can coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp honey
2 tsp cinnamon
Small handful slivered almonds

Put the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. It is important that you use full fat coconut milk (I doubt that the light variety is SCD-friendly anyway, as it probably has illegal thickeners). Open the cold can of coconut milk - you'll notice that it has separated into a thick cream at the top and a watery liquid at the bottom.  Scoop the cream off the top and save the water for something else, if desired. Add the vanilla, honey and cinnamon to the coconut cream and whisk until it is smooth and thick. Spoon over the strawberries, sprinkle slivered almonds over the top and serve. You can make this ahead and refrigerate until it is time to eat.
