Grilled Fruit with Coconut Whipped Cream #deliciousness

It’s mid-July and it’s hot as shiz outside.

How does one satisfy their sweet tooth when it’s wayyyy too hot for an oven-baked dessert?

Easy. Get your grill out and try Christina’s Grilled Fruit with Coconut Cream deliciousness

For the Coconut Whipped Cream:

Ingredients:

  • 1 14-ounce can coconut cream
  • 1/4 – 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Refrigerate can of coconut cream overnight (or 8 hours)
  2. Place metal mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator or freezer 10 minutes before whipping
  3. Open can of coconut cream (make sure you don’t shake it.) Scoop out coconut cream solids into your chilled mixing bowl. Reserve remaining liquid for another use.
  4. Beat coconut cream for about 30 seconds with a mixer until creamy. Then add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and mix until creamy and smooth (about 1 minute). Taste and add more sugar or vanilla if needed!
  5. Serve immediately. If you must store it, refrigerate in a glass container or Mason jar for up to 3 days. Shake or whisk gently to fluff the cream again before serving.

Tips for Grilling Fruit:

  1. Our favorite fruits for grilling: watermelon, pineapple, apples, peaches, plumbs and pears.
  2. You want your fruit ripe, but not TOO ripe. Grill fruit right before you’d normally eat it.
  3. Cut fruit into large chunks to keep it from falling between the bars of the grill grate.
  4. Brush fruit with a high-heat, neutral oil. Melted unsalted butter or clarified butter also works well.
  5. Grill fruit over high heat for 3 minutes without moving or turning it to get the perfect sear aka GRILL MARKS. Flip and cook for 1 – 3 minutes more.
