I’m more of a savory person than sweet, but when my sweet tooth aches, it aches hard! I keep chocolate bars around for those hankerings, but sometimes they just don’t hit the spot. I need something more purposeful. An actual dessert with a spoon, instead of breaking off a chunk of chocolate. Oh, and something easy.

My solution to needing sugar (and needing it ASAP), is one these little fruit bowls with a delightful coconut sauce. It takes a few short minutes to put together, requires minimal clean up, and creates happy taste buds.

Coconut Cream Fruit Bowls

Ingredients

1 peach, sliced
2 plums, sliced
1 cup wild blueberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blackberries
¼ cup fresh basil, julienned
4 squares sea salt dark chocolate, slivered
1 can light coconut milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
2 tablespoons raw honey

Directions

Place coconut milk, almond extract, cinnamon powder, and honey in a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.

Wash and prep all of your fruit. Combine as desired into 4-6 small dessert bowls. Drizzle coconut sauce over each bowl (I personally enjoy a pool of this sauce… don’t skimp!) and garnish with fresh basil and slivered chocolate.
