Ingredients
  

1 cup mixed frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 cup full-fat coconut cream (chilled and thick cream only)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional for a rich chocolate flavor)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, for a pop of color)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coconut Cream: Begin with the chilled coconut cream. In a mixing bowl, scoop out the cream, avoiding the liquid. With a hand mixer or whisk, beat the cream until it becomes light and fluffy, achieving a whipped texture.

    Incorporate Flavor: To the fluffy coconut cream, add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly blended and creamy.

      Fold in the Berries: Carefully add the mixed frozen berries to the cream mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold them in, taking care not to over-mash the berries so you can retain visible pieces in the final clusters.

        Form the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop the berry coconut mixture onto the sheet, shaping them into clusters about 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. Aim for a neat and rounded appearance.

          Add Finishing Touches: If desired, sprinkle the tops of the clusters with shredded coconut, chia seeds, or cocoa powder. This adds extra texture and enhances the flavor profile of your treats.

            Freeze the Clusters: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are completely firm to the touch.

              Serve: Once frozen, gently remove the clusters from the baking sheet and transfer them to an airtight container for storage in the freezer. Serve them straight from the freezer and garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like for a fresh touch.

                Enjoy: These frozen delights are an ideal choice for a refreshing dessert or a nutritious snack to cool off on a warm day!
