Pineapple Parfait Express: A Healthy Pina Colada Treat

It’s easy to get into the warm, tropical feeling when you’ve got beautiful weather and a fragrant, ripe pineapple sitting on your counter begging to be cut open and savored. How many times have you basically sliced this prickly fruit into bite-sized pieces and served it alone, naked and unadorned (not that there’s anything wrong with that)? After making the delicious non-diary, whipped cream for my No-Bake-No-Guilt Watermelon Cupcakes, I had stored the remainder in the fridge. Still light and fluffy a couple of days later, it seemed like the perfect pairing with with my pineapple—who doesn’t love pineapple and coconut together?  This non-dairy and 100% natural whipped cream has the very slightest hint of coconut flavor, almost none, especially after adding the vanilla extract to it. So, looking to boost the “coconut-iness,” I decided that adding unsweetened shredded coconut to the mix was essential to get the pina colada feeling. Enjoy! 

The bikini is entirely up to you!
