Berries and Coconut Cream

Berries are always a great choice for desserts or snacks.  

I love this recipe for its simplicity.  The coconut cream sounds delicious

and a great alternative to plain whipped cream

This recipe comes from Real Simple's series Favorite Summer Recipes

Ingredients

• 2 pounds mixed berries (such as blackberries and raspberries)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)

Directions

In a large bowl, gently toss the berries, sugar, and lime juice.

With an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream and cream of coconut until soft peaks form. Serve with the berries.
