Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup black cherry juice (100%, condensed to 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
  • 3 Tbsp almond meal (or cashew meal)
  • 1 Tbsp coconut manna (creamed coconut or coconut butter)
  • 5 raspberries (ripe)
  • 1 strawberry (medium, ripe)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
  • 1 tsp cacao powder (optional, if you want a chocolate flavor)
  • 1 Tbsp virgin coconut oil
  • 1 tsp white vanilla powder (or better than milk rice powder)
  • 1/2 tsp agave syrup (or pure maple syrup)
  • 1/8 tsp red beet juice
  • dark chocolate (shaved, raw; optional)

Method
 

  1. Add ½ cup of cherry juice (I used Nature’s Promise) in a small saucepan and turn the heat on medium high (5). Simmer without the lid on for about 14-15 minutes until the juice has been condensed to about 2 tablespoons.
  2. Add the condensed cherry juice, coconut oil, almond meal, coconut manna/cream/butter, raspberries, strawberries, vanilla extract and cacao powder (if using) in a high speed blender.
  3. Blend on full speed until everything is completely smooth.
  4. Drizzle the mixture into silicone muffin cups or muffin parchment paper aligned on a muffin tray. Keep it in the freezer for 15-30 minutes until it’s completely solid.
  5. Topping: Meanwhile, mix together the coconut oil, vanilla/rice milk powder, agave/maple syrup, and red beet juice (gives it the pink colour) in a tiny bowl.
  6. Mix it for a few seconds, you will see that the pink and white (coconut oil) will be separate. That is totally fine. Take the frozen cherry cups out of the freezer and drizzle a spoonful on each, swirl it around a bit, then put it back into the freezer.
  7. If you want to use shaved chocolate, simply get a block of semi-sweet chocolate, use a knife to cut thinly along the edges and pieces will come off.
  8. Once the top has set, take it out and sprinkle the shaved chocolate on the cherry cups.
