Iโ€™m pretty sure that as long as I live, I will always get a little bit giddy when strawberry season rolls back around each spring.

I. Love.ย Strawberries.

Especially after a long winter, thereโ€™s something about those vivid, sweet, juicy, and yummy berries that just sing of summertime. So accordingly, over the past two years, I have totally become โ€œthat single girlโ€ who buys the enormous carton of Driscollโ€™s berries at Costco…like once a week. And basically eat them all by myself. Maybe occasionally popping them in a dish to share with friends. But letโ€™s be real, mostly all by myself.

So whenever the craving hits or someone requests strawberry shortcake, I always have my berries and am ready to go! Seriously, it is one of my favorite quick and easy impromptu desserts to make for friends in the summer. But since I have so many friends who are no longer friends with dairy, I have taken to also keeping stashes of coconut cream (or coconut milk) in the fridge so that I can be ready to whip up this dairy-free version of the dessert that my vegan and non-vegan friends alike all seem to love.

OH, and itโ€™s also made with my favorite 3-ingredient coconut biscuits, which I have sweetened up with a bit of honey (or you can substitute maple syrup or agave to make it vegan). So the whole dessert can come together easily in less than 30 minutes.

Now seriously, whatโ€™s not to love about that?

      Hi J โ€”ย the coconut whipped cream is vegan. The shortcakes can be as well, if you use agave instead of honey (as mentioned in the recipe). We hope you enjoy!

    Thank you for the recipe. I try to avoid buying Driscoll products as they are pushing small organic farmers out of business. If I do purchase their berries since nothijg ndg else is available, I buy the oraganic berries that are not sprayed with synthetic chemicals. Will be making this soon!
