- Ingredients for Strawberry Coconut SandwichBread – I like to use whole wheat brown bread but you could certainly use any bread. Bruschetta is a good alternative. Rub some olive oil on the bruschetta and toast it in a pan slightly before adding the toppings.
- Ricotta cheese
- Coconut yoghurt
- Vanilla bean paste, optional
- Strawberries – fresh, seasonal strawberries with stems removed.
- Mint
- Honey
Recipe substitutions and alternatives
- Replace the strawberries with any berries or try using mixed berries such as blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.
- Instead of using coconut yoghurt, opt for low fat Greek yoghurt.
- An alternative for ricotta cheese could be goat cheese.
Cook’s tips
- Prepare the coconut cream in advance and store in the refrigerator.
- Mix strawberries and shredded mint and allow the flavours to marry even more before topping with the cream.
- To add a bit of a savoury twist, add a dash of your favourite balsamic vinaigrette.
