Happy Monday everyone!

My kids started summer school today, and had to be at their bus stop by 7:30am. And we just got back from Des Moines late last night. Why, why??

It took some major strength to get my kids up this morning and ready and off to school. I’m hoping that once they get there, it’ll be fun and the 3 hours will go by fast. I’d better have a great lunch waiting for them.

Vegan Strawberry Shortcake with Coconut Whipped Cream

*Chill both cans of coconut milk overnight
Prep Time30 mins
Cook Time24 mins
Total Time54 mins
Course: Dessert
Servings: 9
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

For the shortcakes:

  • 1 1/2 pounds strawberries trimmed and sliced
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can very cold coconut milk*

For the coconut whipped cream:

  • 1 14- ounce can full fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar + more if needed

Instructions

For the shortcakes:

  • Mix the strawberries with 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut sugar and cover and refrigerate while juices develop, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 2 tablespoons coconut sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the cold coconut milk and mix until just combined. Place mixture in a parchment paper lined 8-inch square pan and bake until golden, for about 20 to 24 minutes.
  • Remove shortcake from pan and place on a rack to cool slightly. Cut into 9 pieces. Alternatively, you can slice each piece in half horizontally if desired.
  • Spoon some of the strawberries with their juice onto each shortcake. Top with a generous dollop of coconut whipped cream and serve immediately.

For the coconut whipped cream:

  • Chill your coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight, being sure not to shake or tip the can to encourage separation of the cream and liquid.
  • Remove the coconut milk carefully from the fridge and remove the lid. Scrape out the top, thickened cream and leave the liquid behind (reserve for use in smoothies).
  • Place the hardened cream into a cold mixing bowl. Beat for 30 seconds with a mixer until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and mix until creamy and smooth, for about 1 minute. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  • Use immediately or refrigerate - it will harden and set in the fridge the longer it's chilled. The coconut cream will keep for up to 1 to 2 weeks.

    Summer school? Wow, intense. Is that like camp? I just keep thinking about summer school the way we do it up in high school, and that’s not fun. 🙂
    Your trip to Des Moines looked amazing, though! Hope you can squeeze in a nap this AM.
    And then have some of this shortcake! You deserve it after all the running around!

    This looks like a delicious way to use up all the ripe strawberries we have too. I love coconut cream too and I can easily eat it out of the can.

    I could eat coconut whipped cream like this on top of everything. Even burgers. Well, maybe not. But seriously, the topping is matched by the cake here! Looks crave-worthy and yum.

    You are amazing, Alice! What a sweet surprise to wake up to this morning. I can’t get over how everything is so perfect from the strawberry and elephant theme to all of these incredible recipes. You know me too well because this cake is exactly what I love with the strawberry and coconut combination. The only thing that would make this event more perfect is if we were all together to celebrate. Thank you so much!! Hugs!

    Mondays are always rough, but this cake will sure make it better 🙂 Looks so moist. And how could you pass up organic strawberries on sale?! I would have picked up a bunch too. I get overly excited in grocery stores, lol.

    Congratulations to your friend!

    Have a great week!!

    Alice, this mouthwatering vegan strawberry shortcake is not only the perfect baby-shower cake – but also amazing at the end of the day – if I were your kids, I’d rather eat this for lunch than anything else – I mean summer school needs cake – right? 🙂
    Hope y’all have a wonderful Monday

    This brings me back to childhood summers. My mom would frequently make strawberry shortcake throughout the season and I could never get enough. I do however, have yet to try coconut whipped cream! I know, know, I would have though I would have tried it a long time ago too. I’m making it my mission to make use of it soon! Paired with this strawberry shortcake, and I know you’ve got a show-stopper of a dessert here!

    I can’t believe these are vegan Alice! I’m a little terrified of vegan baking — I don’t know what to do without eggs! These look SO incredible though! What a fun way to celebrate a new baby!

    Looks amazing! Excited to have found your blog via Annie’s. I’m dairy free so in a big fan of coconut whipped cream. I’m going to give this recipe a try for the 4th and add some blueberries or blackberries for the red, white and blue theme.

    Did you use full fat coconut milk for the cake as well?

      Hi Rachel!
      Yes! and it doesn’t have to be organic .. I do like the brand that I show above in my post though. And don’t forget to chill both cans of coconut cream in the fridge. . I just leave them both in the fridge overnight. Let me know how it goes! Have a happy 4th!
