A post of details is in opposition to the simplicity of this recipe.
And yet writing nothing means no one will find it.
Suffice it to say I wrote this recipe for Coconut Lime Vegan Fool years ago. I loved it then, and I love it now. It’s a whole food plant-based key lime pie parfait!
What is fool?
Fool is a British dessert of sweetened mashed fruit (usually berries) and whipped cream. The curious name may come from the French word fouler meaning “to trample”, or “to compress”.
Mash, trample, and compress indeed describe what I need you to do to your avocado! Though my fruit of choice is no berry – Avocados are stone fruits. – my culinary technique is certainement à le fouler.
Whole Food Plant-Based Whipped Cream
Coconut whipped cream typically annoys me because it takes like coconut. I love coconut; I just generally prefer more dairy-like heavy whipping cream (coming soon). But I want it here!
