Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand Mixer
  • Cutting Board
  • Mason Jars

Ingredients
  

Tropical Fruit Cup
  • 2 mangos diced
  • 20 strawberries diced
  • 2 cups pineapple diced
  • 4 kiwis diced
Coconut Whipped Cream
  • 1 can coconut cream full fat (refrigerated for at least 24 hours)
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the fruit by washing and dicing the mango, strawberries, pineapple, and kiwi into similar-sized pieces (about 1/2 inch cubes).
  • In each mason jar, layer the diced fruits, creating a colorful pattern. Set aside.
  • For the coconut whipped cream, place a mixing bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill.
  • Open your refrigerated can of coconut cream. The cream should have separated from the liquid. Carefully scoop out just the solid cream into your chilled bowl, being careful not to include any liquid. You should have about 1 cup of coconut cream.
  • Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the coconut cream.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture for about 1 minute until it reaches a consistency similar to traditional whipped cream.
  • Top each fruit cup with a generous dollop of coconut whipped cream just before serving.
  • Store any leftover whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Make sure to refrigerate your can of coconut cream for at least 24 hours before making the whipped cream.
  • For best results, use full-fat coconut cream, not coconut milk.
  • The fruit cups can be prepared up to a day in advance, but add the whipped cream just before serving.
  • Save the coconut liquid for smoothies or other recipes.
  • Optional garnishes: mint leaves, toasted coconut flakes, or a light dusting of cinnamon.
