Notes
Important Notes
Fresh strawberries are best for this recipe, as frozen strawberries will add too much water to the dip.
You must use coconut milk from a can. You will use the hard solidified cream on the top of the can, not the milky liquid.
You can find coconut milk at your local grocery store. It is usually in the canned veggies section or it may be with the Asian or baking products.
If you prefer a sweeter dip, add 1 more tbsp of maple syrup.
Storage
Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
This dip will not freeze well.
