- Hey dudes, I'm Hilah,
and today on Hilah Cooking we are making
strawberries with coconut whipped cream.
♫ Because strawberries and cream
♫ Are great, can we all agree
♫ They're the best thing you can eat
♫ Unless you're lactose intolerant ♫
(upbeat music)
So for the coconut cream, coconut whipped cream,
you wanna get some full fat coconut milk.
I'm using this little box or whatever, but can is fine.
And you wanna make sure that it's full fat,
it's got like 14 grams of fat per serving,
and you're like oh my god that's too much,
but it's fine.
So, put it in the fridge for at least eight hours,
and then all the fat solidifies at the top
and the liquid will be at the bottom.
It's actually a lot easier to do with a can,
because you can use a can opener,
but I'm gonna use a knife,
and don't look, Mom.
It's totally fine, this is not dangerous at all.
I am going to cut
the bottom off,
and pour the liquid in here.
You want to make sure you save the liquid.
That's important. You might need it later.
Cool.
And then, what's left is this solid blob of
coconut fat.
So we're going to put that into our mixer,
and if you have room in your freezer,
then you could chill your mixing bowl and your beaters too,
but I don't have room for this giant thing.
Whip this on high speed until it starts to get some volume,
and if you need to add a tablespoon or so
of the reserved coconut water, then do that.
I'll show you, you'll see how it looks.

Okay, this is fluffing up nicely,
and I'm not gonna add any sugar because I like to just
let the natural sweetness of the strawberries shine through,
but you can add a little bit of powdered sugar,
or you can put a little sugar on the berries
and that probably works better.
I did add a little bit of vanilla extract though.
Let's just go a little bit longer
and maybe add a little coconut water. Let's see.
(mixer whirling)
It worked!
Okay.
I act like I'm surprised, but it's not really that magical.
But it's pretty cool.
And another thing I like about doing
coconut whipped cream for desserts is that it stays
fluffy like this for a long time in the fridge.
I don't know, I've left coconut whipped cream in the fridge
for a couple days and it's still good.
Alright, so we're gonna make a little parfait.
For more strawberry recipes,
I put together a strawberry playlist.
I'll put a link to that below,
so you can check those out.
Celebrate the bounty of the harvest.
So, I'm gonna do a little cream in the bottom,
some fresh berries,
and like I said, you could macerate these
in a little bit of brown sugar or regular sugar if you like.
A little bit of toasted almonds.
And this would be a really good breakfast, actually,
if you want to put some granola in there.
There we go.
Alright, I'm gonna dig in.
Thank you so much for watching.
Don't forget to subscribe.
I'll put a link below in the bottom,
and there's also an annotation up above my head,
so click on that,
subscribe to the channel,
and you'll get notified every time I release a new video,
which is every Thursday and sometimes on the weekends.
OK, let's try this.
And, coconut and strawberries just taste so good together.
Mmmm!
It's so incredibly summery.
I just love strawberries so much I feel like a lot of times
they don't really need any adornment,
but some whipped cream or some whipped coconut cream?
Can't go wrong.
Thanks a lot, have a great weekend,
and I will see you next week. Bye!
