This is a fun dessert or breakfast made out of crepes! If you are tired of having your strawberry shortcake minus the shortcake this recipe is for you. I love the simplicity of berries with coconut whip cream but sometimes it’s nice to have something a little extra. Any berry or fruit would be delicious if you are not a strawberry person. Enjoy!
For this recipe, you will need to whip up a batch of crepes first. You can find the recipe here.
Deconstructed Strawberry Shortcake

Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 6 crepes
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1 pint strawberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean scraped
Instructions
- Make crepes and set aside.
- Coconut milk should be chilled overnight.
- When you remove the coconut milk from the fridge flip the can upside down. Opening it this way will make removing the cream part much easier. Pour water out and save for smoothies or discard and remove the cream part left in the bottom of the can.
- Add cream to a bowl. If you have time chilling the bowl first helps to keep it super cold.
- Add vanilla and mix on high until whipped. If you want extra sweetness you can add stevia or a sweetener of your choice but I don't think it needs it.
- To make the shortcake take crepes and using a glass or cookie cutter in desired shape cut out as many pieces from each crepe you can.
- Arrange cut out crepe pieces on a plate.
- Wash, chop and place strawberries on top of crepes and top with coconut whip cream.
