Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen mixed berries (I recommend a blend of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 cup chilled coconut cream (use the solidified part from a can, discarding excess liquid)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans) for a delightful crunch (optional)

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

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berry Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen mixed berries with your choice of honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Using a fork, gently mash the berries, leaving some chunks intact for a nice texture. Set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Whip the Coconut Cream: In another bowl, scoop out the chilled coconut cream (the solidified portion) without the liquid. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes creamy and fluffy. This will create a light texture for your clusters.

      Fold and Combine: Carefully fold the berry mixture into the whipped coconut cream. Use a spatula to gently combine the two mixtures while ensuring you keep the beautiful swirls of fruit visible.

        Shape the Clusters: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to dollop generous spoonfuls of the creamy berry mixture onto the prepared sheet. Lightly flatten each cluster with the back of the spoon for a uniform shape.

          Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded coconut and chopped nuts on top of each cluster for extra flavor and crunch. If you’re opting to use chocolate chips, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals or over a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each cluster for a decadent touch.

            Freeze: Carefully place the tray in the freezer and let the clusters freeze for a minimum of 2-4 hours until they are firm and fully set.

              Serve: Once the clusters are frozen, you can either enjoy them right away or transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the freezer for up to a month. For the best texture, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before indulging.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 4 hours | Servings: 12 clusters

                  Presentation Tips: Place the clusters on a decorative platter or individual dessert cups for an elegant touch. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or additional mixed berries for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy this delightful treat as a frozen dessert or a refreshing snack!
