How to Make Strawberry Coconut Cream

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 packet (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups full-fat coconut milk and 1 1/2 cups whole milk.
  3. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just simmering. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  5. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  6. Meanwhile, hull and roughly chop 1 pound (about 2 cups) fresh strawberries.
  7. Combine the chopped strawberries and the remaining 1/2 cup whole milk in a blender.
  8. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
  9. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  10. Gently fold in the cooled coconut milk mixture and the strawberry puree until just combined.
  11. Lightly grease a 5-cup mold (or individual serving dishes).
  12. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold.
  13. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  14. While the dessert chills, hull and slice the remaining 1/2 pound fresh strawberries. Toss gently with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  15. Cover and refrigerate the sliced strawberries.
  16. To serve, briefly dip the mold in hot water to loosen the dessert.
  17. Invert onto a serving plate to unmold.
  18. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes.
  19. Garnish with the chilled sliced strawberries and fresh mint leaves (optional).
  20. Serve immediately with the remaining sliced strawberries.
