It’s hard to believe that something this delicious is so simple, and vegan! I usually use tons of organic dairy products, especially heavy cream, but lately I’ve been into coconut milk because of its smooth and naturally sweet flavor.

This succulent dessert — or breakfast — is topped with delicious coconut milk sauce with a hint of vanilla. The sauce consists of a mere two ingredients! Even better, this simple fruit salad is surprisingly low in carbs.
