Recipe and Quote of the Day!

As it gets warmer and warmer I like to have different things with fruit for breakfast or for a small snack in the afternoon. I found a recipe for a great way to make cream to go with some berries.

Paleo Berries and Cream

Ingredients (using 1 can of coconut milk ~4 servings)
- 1 can of GOOD quality coconut milk (not the light version). Chilled in the fridge for 2 days.
- 1 tsp ground vanilla beans – you can get whole vanilla beans at Whole Foods or Mother's
- the zest of 1/2 an orange
- the juice of 1/4 an orange
- berries or any fruit that you want to top with cream

Directions:

1. Make sure your coconut milk has been chilled. If you didn’t do that, pop it in the freezer for a couple hours to speed up the chilling process.
2. The cream from the coconut should have separated from the water and be sitting at the top of the can. Carefully scoop it out into a bowl and don’t include any water.
3. Add the vanilla, orange zest and squeeze of juice.
4. Using a hand mixer (you must use a hand mixer….sorry folks, there is no other way), whip the cream until it fluffs up a bit (about 3 min).
5. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for later use. This is also great topped with some toasted coconut shreds and your favorite nuts!
