Coconut Berry Parfait

June 20, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I am just going fruit crazy this week!  I have the following fruit in my kitchen as we speak; strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, apples, peaches, lemons, limes, pineapple, watermelon, plums and raspberries.  I am trying to stay away from the sweets, so I am filling my belly with fresh fruit with natural sugar, rather than chocolate and ice cream.  It has been a pretty easy transition.  Though a nice piece of chocolate sounds good.  But you know what is way better for you?  Today’s dessert.  I have for you Coconut Berry Parfaits. It’s like eating summer.

Coconut Berry Parfait

The Coconut Berry Parfait tastes out of this world.  Sweet berries layered with easy to make homemade coconut cream.  I could not stop eating this.  When I was making it, I would take a berry, then a scoop of whip cream.  My Husband comes home from the store and says do you want a burger for dinner?  I said no, I’m full.  What?  You were hungry 20 minutes ago.  Well….  I kind of overdid it with the berries and coconut cream.  I can’t help it, I had to taste test it, again and again and again, you get the picture.

Coconut Berry Parfait


I started the recipe by preparing for the coconut cream.  The day before I made this I put a can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator. I used Trader Joe’s brand, it’s my favorite.  Once it was ready, I poured out the coconut water and scooped out all of the coconut meat and added it to my mixing bowl.  I whipped it together in a matter of 3 minutes and added a pinch of powdered sugar and vanilla extract for extra flavor.  I refrigerated it until I was ready to use it.  Making coconut whip cream is so easy and fun, but do know it is a tad heavier than whipping cream and has a very strong coconut flavor; which I love.

Coconut Berry Parfait

Just before I made the coconut cream I added my berries in a bowl and added a pinch of lemon juice and sugar.  Just mixed it up and waited for the fruit to get juicy.  Go light on the sugar this time of year because the berries are so much sweeter.

Coconut Berry Parfait

Now it’s time to make the parfaits.  I just added the berries to a dessert bowl, added a little bit, OK a lot of coconut cream and topped it with more berries and one last dollop of coconut cream.  I added a little bit of roasted coconut on the top.  I used Trader Joe’s Roasted Coconut.  I love the roasted coconut.  I sometimes eat it as a snack. Dessert is ready to serve.  Oh and before serving, add a sprig of mint.  I bought mint for this recipe, and I forgot to add it.  The mint will add a little bit of color.

Coconut Berry Parfait

This recipe could make 4 servings, but I went for 3 servings since I ate some of the berries and ate some of the coconut cream before putting the parfait together.  I always say the more fruit and coconut cream the better.  I could easily make this one serving; all for me.  he he But I shared it.  By the way, you will have left over coconut cream.  I used about half for the recipe.  Just cover and store the coconut cream in the refrigerator for about a week.  I did the best I could while calculating the calories for this recipe, but it’s hard when you make coconut cream.

Coconut Berry Parfait

I just love this dessert and it is such a treat to eat.  Nothing beats a light refreshing dessert when it’s 90 degrees out.  This parfait is also perfect for serving at a BBQ, or brunch and it also is vegan, and gluten-free.  You could also make this in a mason jar, seal it up and pack it in a cooler for having at a picnic.  How cute would they be in little mason jars?

Coconut Berry Parfait

What a great way to start the week!  I am loving berry season.  Now what to do with all the other fruit I have?  Can’t believe I bought so much!  Be prepared for pineapple and watermelon recipes next.

Have a great week!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I cannot get enough of berries this year! And fruit in general but I’ve really been stocking up on the little guys- blueberries, blackberries, etc. I love this idea for a nice light dessert!

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.
💕

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?
