Fruit salads are great for breakfast or for a refreshing afternoon snack. But when they’re enjoyed as a dessert, they’re mainly topped with whipping cream, yogurt, or chocolate sauce. This coconut cashew cream is a delicious alternative to the usual toppings you would add to your fruit salad.

¼ cup raspberries
¼ cup blackberries
¼ cup strawberries (sliced)
1 can coconut milk (full fat)

2 tablespoons coconut butter
1 tablespoon honey (or vegan sweetener)
1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
5 drops coconut flower essence
