Sticking to your gluten-free and dairy-free lifestyle is kind of hard when everyone else is eating “all the things”.  Make and bring your own healthy and scrumptious dessert that will leave you satisfied and guilt-free at any summer festivities this season!

The Whipped Cream: (FYI; heavy whipping cream is a fat, not dairy, but still don’t overdue it)

1 cup of organic heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon of organic maple syrup

In a chilled glass or metal bowl, blend with mixer (chilled blades) until light and fluffy. Refrigerate.

The Berries:

1 cup of organic sliced strawberries

1 cup of organic blueberries

In a glass parfait bowl, add berries then top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Yields: 4 servings

If you are wanting more variety, additional toppings could include chocolate chips, cacao nibs, sprinkle of cinnamon, walnuts, cashews, and pecans.
