Coconut Raspberry Treat (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Core Components

01 - 1 tbsp finely grated zest from a lemon
02 - 100 g raspberries, fresh or thawed (if frozen)
03 - 4 tbsp of maple syrup
04 - 400 g of creamed coconut, grated or chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Grate or chop up the coconut block. Cover a loaf tin with plastic wrap to keep things neat.
02 - Put the grated coconut into a heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl in a shallow skillet with hot water and stir until it’s fully melted. Once done, take it off the heat.
03 - Throw in the raspberries, maple syrup, and lemon zest with the melted coconut. Use a tall container and blend with a hand blender or food processor until creamy.
04 - Spoon the mixture into your wrapped loaf tin. Let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours, or freeze for 20-30 minutes until solid.
05 - When it’s set and firm, cut into little squares or triangles.

# Notes:

01 - If using frozen raspberries, let them thaw first so the mixture doesn’t set too quickly.
02 - Sugar-replacement options like stevia or sugar-free maple syrup can work too.
