Banana-Blueberry-Coconut & Raspberry-Blackberry-Coconut Ice-Blocks!

Spring in Australia is nearly here! The sun is coming out more, the birds are singing, and I'm finding myself beginning to crave fresh, fruity flavours much more! So today I decided to make two different kinds of ice-blocks with Natural Raw C coconut water, and dipped them in some cacao-choc sauce + pistachios + coconut for a bit of added decadence ;) Hope you enjoy!


BANANA-BLUEBERRY (makes approx. 3)

• 1 ripe banana
• 1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) blueberries
• 2/3 cup Natural Raw C coconut water

RASPBERRY-BLACKBERRY (makes approx. 3)

• 1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) raspberries
• 1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) blackberries
• 2/3 cup Natural Raw C coconut water

CACAO-CHOC SAUCE + TOPPINGS

• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
• 1/4 cup cacao powder
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• desiccated coconut
• crushed raw pistachios

Method:

- For the banana-blueberry ice-blocks, blend together all ingredients until smooth.

- Pour into ice-block moulds and place in freezer overnight or until completely set

- Do the same for the raspberry-blackberry ice-blocks :)

- In the morning remove from moulds (you may need to run some warm water over them so they come out) and set aside.

- For the cacao-choc sauce, mix all ingredients together so that there are no lumps. If you are finding it difficult you may need to place the ingredients in a saucepan over low heat to achieve a smooth texture.
- Dip the tips of each ice-block into the choc. sauce, then immediately into the pistachios or coconut (or whatever else you'd like to use!) It is important to do it quickly otherwise the chocolate will set and won't stick to your toppings!
-Eat straight away or store in an air-tight container in the freezer :)
