Ingredients

14 oz full-fat coconut cream (refrigerated overnight), chilled
2 tbsp powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1

Scoop the thick solid cream from the top of the 14 oz chilled full-fat coconut cream (refrigerated overnight) into a cold mixing bowl, leaving any liquid behind.
2

Whip the solid coconut cream with a hand mixer on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract and whip for another 30 seconds to combine.
3

In a small bowl, roughly mash half the 1 1/2 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries) with a fork. Stir in 2 tsp fresh lemon juice and the remaining whole berries.
4

Gently fold the berry mixture into the whipped cream, leaving visible swirls of fruit rather than mixing completely smooth.
5

Divide the fool into four glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with a few whole berries if desired.

Questions

How much time should I plan for Berry Coconut Fool?

As written, 15 minutes: 15 of prep and 0 of cooking. The longest single stretch is the hands-off wait in step 1, overnight, or about 8 hours. That wait sits outside the stated prep and cook times, so plan around it.

Why fold instead of stir in Berry Coconut Fool?

Step 4 reads: "Gently fold the berry mixture into the whipped cream, leaving visible swirls of fruit rather than mixing completely smooth." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 4 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

What can I use instead of coconut milk in Berry Coconut Fool?

The entry for Berry Coconut Fool calls for 14 oz full-fat coconut cream (refrigerated overnight), chilled. In its place: Heavy cream or evaporated milk gives the same body without the coconut flavor. To stay dairy-free, blend soaked cashews with water until smooth.
