Chocolate coated fruit, nut and Coconut Rough clusters

Its been a rough couple of weeks for Hubby and I. We are battling toilet training with our almost 2 year old whom has decided that she no longer wants to go to the toilet AT all. Nope, not on the potty and not in her nappy. She has decided to boycott the whole darn thing. Clearly, this is causing all kind of issues and copious amounts of stress on hubs and I.


We are ending the day and craving comfort foods, purely just to drown in our sorrows and de-stress from our huge and exhausting days of trying to convince a toddler that she has to let go of her No.2's.


Tonight after I put our little lady to bed, hubs jumped off the couch and said he was going to get Icecreams. WHAAA??? No way could I let him undo our months of willpower and undoing of our previous sugar addictions. I told him to sit back down (not so eloquently) and hold ten. I whipped up these babies in minutes, let them set in the freezer and voila we had the most delicious AND nutrient dense little indulgence.


I urge you to try these the next time you are craving sugar. You don't need the nasty stuff, I promise!!!

Ingredients:


1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup 100% Pure Organic Maple Syrup
1 cup Organic or Pesticide Free Almonds
1/4 cup Pepitas
1/4 cup Organic dried Cranberries
1 tablespoon Organic raisins
2 tablespoons Desiccated Coconut
1.5 tablespoons Raw Cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon Organic Vanilla paste
1 tablespoon Lucuma powder


Method:
Add all dry ingredients into a bowl, add all wet ingredients and stir well with a spoon until all coated in what looks like a chocolate sauce. Spoon ingredients into 8 silicone muffin cups and let set in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.


Feel free to substitute any of the Fruit or Nuts for what you have available. Please always ensure you are buying Preservative free dried fruit, the supermarket brands are laced with additives and added sugar. Always read your labels!


This is such a delicious little dessert and it is full of good quality fats and vitamins. What is not to love?


Enjoy!


Love and Gratitude
