Ingredients
- Fresh ripe peaches
- Full-fat canned coconut cream
- Natural liquid sweetener (maple syrup or agave nectar)
- Vanilla extract
- Optional: fresh lime or lemon juice
- Optional: ground cardamom or cinnamon
Instructions
- Chill the Coconut Cream: Place your cans of full-fat coconut cream in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the thick cream to separate from the liquid.
- Prepare the Peaches: Wash fresh peaches thoroughly, peel if desired, halve, remove the pit, and slice into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid. For canned peaches, drain and rinse well.
- (Optional) Macerate the Peaches: Toss the prepared peaches with a tablespoon or two of sweetener and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Whip the Coconut Cream: Open the chilled coconut cream cans and scoop out the thick cream into a mixing bowl. Add your chosen sweetener and vanilla extract.
- Beat until Fluffy: Using an electric mixer, beat the coconut cream mixture on medium-high speed for about 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Assemble and Chill: Layer the whipped coconut cream and prepared peaches in serving glasses or a trifle dish, ending with a layer of whipped coconut cream on top.
- Final Chill: Cover and chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
