Ingredients
- 4 ripe kiwis, peeled and halved
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut cream, chilled overnight
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp coconut oil or cooking spray (for grilling)
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Lightly brush the cut sides of the kiwi with coconut oil or spray the grill surface to prevent sticking.
- Place the kiwi halves cut-side down on the grill and cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the fruit is slightly softened.
- Remove from grill and set aside to cool slightly.
- Scoop out the solidified coconut cream from the chilled can and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Whip the coconut cream using a hand mixer until fluffy. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to taste, and whip again to combine.
- Serve the grilled kiwi warm or at room temperature with a generous dollop of coconut whipped cream on top.
- Garnish with shredded coconut and fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Use chilled, full-fat coconut cream for the best whipped texture.
- Ensure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Adjust sweetness in the coconut cream to taste.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep it vegan.
