Serves 2

Ingredients

2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen), sliced
1/2 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen), crushed
4 Tbsp sugar
1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
4 Tbsp water
1 tsp lemon juice
4 slices Little Northern Bakehouse Gluten-Free Millet & Chia bread
3/4 cup coconut cream, whipped (or your favourite non-dairy whipped topping)
2 Tbsp gluten-free graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

Dissolve cornstarch in water and set aside.

In a saucepan, bring the crushed strawberries and sugar to a boil. Add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly until thickened. (If using frozen strawberries, thaw a portion to crush for the base of the sauce first).

Remove from the heat and add sliced strawberries and lemon juice. Toss gently with a rubber spatula until sliced berries are coated in sauce. (If using frozen strawberries, add remaining 2 cups of frozen sliced berries to your saucepan when sauce has nearly thickened, and simmer for 2 – 3 minutes in the warm sauce to soften. If using previously frozen (thawed) strawberries, complete steps as originally listed, folding the 2 cups of sliced thawed berries into the sauce as you would with fresh).

Toast gluten-free bread. Spread a quarter of the whipped coconut cream on 2 slices and top with a quarter of the strawberry mixture and a quarter of the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. Repeat and pile high!

Serve and enjoy!
