Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup coconut cream (chilled)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of fine sea salt

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chilled coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the ingredients are smooth and evenly combined.

    Incorporate Shredded Coconut: Gently fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut into the coconut mixture until it is fully combined. The resulting mixture should have a thick and sticky consistency.

      Mold the Bites: Line a mini muffin tin or silicone mold with small pieces of parchment paper for easy removal. Using a tablespoon, scoop the coconut mixture into each cavity, pressing down gently to flatten the top.

        Add Raspberries: Carefully place a fresh raspberry on top of each coconut mound, pressing it down slightly to embed it within the mixture. This ensures an easy freeze and enhances the flavors when enjoyed.

          Freeze: Place the muffin tin or mold in the freezer and allow the bites to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until they are completely firm and set.

            Prepare Chocolate Drizzle (Optional): If you are opting for the chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each session until the chocolate is smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before using.

              Serve: Once the coconut bites are fully frozen, gently remove them from the mold. If you prepared chocolate drizzle, use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the melted chocolate over the frozen bites. Return them to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes for the chocolate to set.

                Enjoy: Serve these delightful frozen bites immediately for a refreshing treat, or store them in an airtight, freezer-safe container for snacking throughout the week.
