Coconut Lime Vegan Fool

four glasses coconut lime vegan fool with optional graham cracker crumb garnish

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!

Description

serves 2, may be multiplied as needed

Ingredients
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 13.5-oz (400-mL) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 lime
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL/63 g) agave nectar, divided
  • plant-based graham crackers (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
    Prepare
  1. 1
    If necessary, place avocado in a brown bag (preferably with an apple or banana) and wait 1-2 days, until dark and soft.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, chill entire can of coconut milk in the back of the refrigerator at least 8 hrs.
    3. Make & Serve
  3. 3
    Zest and juice lime into a med bowl, then add ripe avocado flesh and 2 Tbsp (30 mL/42 g) agave. With an electric mixer on hi, beat 1-2 min, until creamy. Set aside.
    Some lumps are OK!
  4. 4
    Open bottom of chilled can, then pour off and reserve translucent, thin coconut water. Spoon opaque, thick coconut cream into a lg bowl. Add remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL/21 g) agave to coconut cream and beat on hi 2-3 min, until fluffy.
    Coconut water is great as-is, or in smoothies and baked goods!
  5. 5
    Scrape avocado mixture into coconut whipped cream, then fold 3-4 times, until marbled but not mixed. Divide between glasses and garnish with graham cracker crumbs if desired.

Not every fool thrives with coconut flavor! For a neutral dairy-free heavy whipping cream, checkout my product review or the reverse-engineered recipe of my winner (coming soon).
