Baked Berries with Lemon Curd and Coconut Topped with Homemade Whipped Cream
We had friends over for dinner, and I wanted to make a light and tasty dessert with what I had on hand. I decided to toss together some strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries with some warm lemon curd and coconut. I baked the mixture, then served it warm with homemade whipped cream. This dessert was wonderful–light, tart, sweet, and creamy. It was great on its own, or it would be wonderful over pound cake. It was a big hit with all of us, especially my daughter, who LOVED it!

How to Make Baked Berries with Lemon Curd and Coconut Topped with Homemade Whipped Cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray (I used coconut oil spray).
Toss the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries into a large bowl.
Heat the lemon curd in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Drizzle over the berries, then toss to coat them evenly.
Pour berries into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle with coconut.
Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Meanwhile, make the whipping cream by pouring the cold heavy cream into a bowl along with the powdered sugar and vanilla.
Using a hand mixer, mix on high until the whipping cream is thick and fluffy.
Spoon the berries into small bowls, then top with whipped cream.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Berries, coconut and whipped cream?! Yes!!
I’ve baked berries with lemon curd before and they are AMAZING that way. I am loving the coconut in your version as well.
how very clever of you! i’m enamored of this impromptu dish, pam, especially since it’s quite healthy!
Sounds like a perfect Spring dessert, very healthy and perfectly flavourfull 🙂
they looks absolitely delicious,i love berries 🙂
This looks very good Pam, especially with the homemade whipped cream.
What a lovely light dessert!
this look georgeus Pam!
What a delicious combination and homemade whipped cream makes everything better!
Is it weird that I want to scoop a big spoonful of that on top of a bowl of ice cream? And then stick my face in it.
What a perfect summer dessert! I’ll definitely make this soon!
I bet this was an amazing dessert that is great for the coming season! I need to try my hand at homemade whipped cream!
Pile those berries in a crust, call it a pie, and you have yet another delightful summer dessert! Either way, it looks marvelous. The only question is, how did you refrain from eating all of the berries before you baked it?
Oh I love that last shot, where the fruit is slightly soft and unctuous! Mmmmm! What a simple and delicious idea. Roll on berry season!
This would be fantastic to serve to dinner guests! Great medley of berries. And so beautiful and colorful!
I love the combination of berries with the lemon curd. Great healthy dessert.
Pam,
I love this recipe. I am getting the berries and lemon curd today!!!! Perfect for me right now as I am trying to shed the winter pounds. I love berries and dessert. This is such a healthy combo for the whole family! I will skip the whipped cream for myself!! !Thanks for your recipes.
Pam, I just wanted to follow up. I made this and it was AWESOME!!!! I loved it and so did my kids. Great,healthy combination!
I never would have thought of this combo but it looks amazing. I love lemon with berries.
What a fun dessert! And I have a ton of berries to use up too!
Wonderful idea for a healthy and delicious dessert. Especially with the coconut on top! I must try this 🙂
That is so red, white and blue that it would be a perfect dish for the 4th of July spread.
I made this recipe using the frozen berry mix from Costco (and yes, my 8-month old daughter and I had to get the Hep A vaccination a few days later) and it was great! Looking forward to making it with fresh (non-contaminated) berries next time! Thanks for the recipe!
