  1. Prepare the gluten-free cornbread per package instructions.
  2. Allow to cool completely, then cut into 12 equal squares.

  5. In a blender, add ½ cup of blueberries and blend until smooth.
  6. Set the sauce aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  7. Slice the squares of cornbread in half (cross-section).
  8. Place one half on the center of a plate.
  9. Add a generous dollop of freshly whipped coconut cream.
  10. Place a layer of blueberries and strawberries over the coconut cream.
  11. Lay the top piece of cornbread over this and repeat the steps.
  12. Garnish the plate with some additional berry puree and berries.
