½ cup confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon coconut rum
1 cup heavy whipping cream
9 ounces coconut cookies (or graham crackers)
1 pound blueberries (fresh )
1 pound strawberries (fresh, sliced very thin)
- To make cream filling, start by whipping coconut cream in bowl of stand mixer with whisk attachment on medium speed until it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add confectioners sugar and mix on low until incorporated.
- Add coconut rum and mix on low until combined.
- Scrape sides, add heavy whipping cream, mix on low to incorporate and then increase speed to medium high for about a minute.
- Scrape walls and base of bowl
- Continue mixing on medium high speed until nice peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- To make the cake, spread some cream on the base of the plate.
- Arrange cookies so that their sides are touching but they do not over lap.
- Cover cookies with a spoonful of cream, using the spatula to spread.
- Top with a second layer of cookies, rotating their pattern to cover any gaps
- Follow with a layer of cream.
- Thickness in between layers should be thick enough so that there is a creamy layer in between, but not so thick that your ingredients aren't level or they slide around.
- Cover with a single layer of fresh blueberries.
- Top with cream, then top with two cookie/cream layers.
- Next, cover with a single layer of sliced strawberries. Top with cream, then top with two cookie/cream layers.
- Repeat until you run out of ingredients. I portioned everything so that my top and bottom layers would be the cookies surrounded by the cream.
- Garnish with additional berries on top.
- Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two hours or up to several days before serving.
