Celebrate the season with fresh summer berries and cream. This red, white and blue dessert is perfect for the 4th of July. Made with an easy whipped coconut cream, it's dairy-free, gluten-free, paleo, vegan, and low carb.

The easiest red, white and blue berries and cream for the 4th of July. With fresh summer berries and coconut cream, it's paleo, gluten-free, and dairy-free.

This is the easiest red, white and blue berries and cream for the 4th of July. And you can make it with just three ingredients. Fresh summer strawberries and blueberries are so naturally sweet, you don't need to add anything to them or to the coconut cream. This classic simple berries and cream dessert is creamy and delicious without any dairy.

With just three simple ingredients, this berries and cream dessert fits just about any diet. With low carb berries, full-fat coconut milk and no added sweetener it makes a perfect keto and Whole30 treat. And it's naturally gluten and dairy-free.

Of course, if your berries are not quite sweet enough you can always add a touch of vanilla, stevia or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the coconut cream. Sweetened or unsweetened, whipped coconut cream is wonderful with fresh homegrown berries.

And to make this dessert super quick to whip up, keep a can of coconut milk the refrigerator (check the ingredient list to make sure it only includes coconut and water). That way it's ready to go whenever you want to make coconut whipped cream.

I love serving something colorful and festive for Independence Day. Red, white and blue berries and cream is perfect for watching fireworks, as a dessert for your summer barbecue, or to pair alongside something chocolate if you're feeding a crowd (I recommend paleo brownies).

And if you have any left over, it's great straight out of the fridge for breakfast! It makes a fantastic substitute for yogurt if you're avoiding dairy—you can even top it with some hemp hearts or slivered almonds for a little crunch.

    That looks so good! I love fresh berries and cream, and I love the coconut cream as a healthier alternative to regular cream. I am new to Paleo, so it’s nice to find easy dishes that I know I will love!

    This is so delicious!! I made the cream a couple days ago and have plenty left, so I’ve been eating it every day now with all these phenomenal fresh berries! I love it with blackberries and raspberries as well! So good. It will become a regular in our house. Thanks for sharing 🙂
