Roasted Strawberries & Almond Coconut Cream

Now is the time to enjoy local strawberries from your farmers market. These freshly picked beauties are smaller than conventional strawberries and a deep red hue indicating they’re sweet and juicy. These strawberries are perfectly delicious as is but they are even been when roasted! They become soft, jammy, and even sweeter.

Roasted strawberries can be made in advance and enjoyed countless ways, such as a topping for your oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream, or slathered on toast. I personally think they’re best enjoyed warm from the oven with a heaping spoonful of coconut whipped cream.

Friends who rarely step into the kitchen have told me countless times that my recipes look delicious but they require too many ingredients. This recipe is my answer for those with an insufficient pantry. Strawberries, coconut cream, honey, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Okay, almond extract might be pushing it for the non-cook but it can be omitted or replaced with vanilla extract. This easy recipe won’t disappoint and makes the perfect after dinner treat for yourself and friends.

If you desire chocolate (which we all do right?) chop up some dark chocolate and sprinkle it on top. This recipe also goes perfectly with my Almond Flour Fudge Brownies. Just layer the brownies with the roasted strawberries and whip!

Recipe Notes

*If you can't find coconut cream purchase full fat coconut milk. Flip it upside down so the coconut cream is on the bottom and place it in fridge overnight. Remove lid and pour and discard out the coconut water.
