Equipment
- 1 High Speed Blender
- 1 ovenproof skillet medium to large in size, like cast iron
- 1 stand mixer
Ingredients
Coconut Whip
- 1 can unsweetened coconut milk full fat & chilled in the refrigerator overnight
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dutch Baby & Assembly
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup strawberries washed & sliced
- mint fresh & torn
- maple syrup
- powdered sugar optional
- butter for topping, optional
Instructions
Coconut Whip
- Scrape the cream from the top of the chilled coconut milk (leave the water behind and save for another use) and add it to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add in vanilla extract and honey and mix on high until soft peaks form. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator
Dutch Baby & Assembly
- Place a medium oven-proof skillet (like cast iron) into the oven and heat the oven to 425F. Keep the skillet in there for at least 30 minutes until your batter is ready to be poured in. Prepare the batter by first adding 3 eggs to a blender. Blend the eggs on high for one minute - the eggs should now be a frothy consistency.
- Keep the motor running and slowly/gradually add in the milk, followed by the 2 tbsp of melted butter.
- Blend in flour, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla extract and salt just to combine (we don't want to over mix).
- Remove hot skillet from the oven and immediately add in remaining 1 tbsp of butter and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Carefully pour the batter into the skillet and bake the Dutch baby for 20-25 minutes, or until you see it begin to puff and slightly brown.
- The pancake will deflate a bit after you remove it from the oven and that's okay. Top with a few dollops of the coconut cream, fresh strawberries, maple syrup, butter and powdered sugar, if using.
