• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 milliliters Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 milliliters Coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons Shredded unsweetened coconut

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and diced peaches.

Reduce the heat to low and let the fruit simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the fruit softens and releases its juices.

If a thicker compote is desired, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the saucepan and stir well. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes until the compote thickens.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the compote cool slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the coconut cream and shredded coconut until well combined, creating a creamy and tropical flavor.
