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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
