Smooth coconut goodness mixed with juicy raspberries and lemon zest, naturally sweetened with maple syrup for a yummy snack.

# Ingredients:

→ Core Components

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

# Steps:

01 - Grate or chop the coconut into small bits. Line a loaf tin with plastic wrap to make it non-stick.
02 - Place the coconut into a sturdy bowl that won’t melt. Put the bowl inside a shallow pot of warm water, stirring while it melts. Once liquid, take it off the heat.
03 - Toss in the raspberries, lemon zest, and maple syrup into the melted coconut. Blend everything into a creamy consistency using a stick blender or a compact food processor.
04 - Spread the creamy mixture evenly in the loaf tin lined with plastic wrap. Pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours or freeze it for 20-30 minutes until it solidifies.
05 - When the mixture firms up, slice it into small squares or triangles before serving.

# Notes:

01 - If using frozen raspberries, let them sit at room temperature to soften before blending.
02 - You can swap the maple syrup for stevia or a sugar-free alternative.
