Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 cup coconut cream (chill the can overnight and scoop out the solid portion)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to your desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans) for added crunch (optional)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Berry Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the frozen mixed berries with honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Using a fork, gently mash the berries to release some juices while keeping a few chunks intact for texture. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Whip the Coconut Cream: In a separate bowl, scoop the chilled coconut cream (only the solidified part, leaving any liquid behind) and whip it with a hand mixer or whisk until it becomes light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

      Fold and Combine: Carefully fold the berry mixture into the whipped coconut cream until just combined. Take care not to overmix; you want to maintain beautiful swirls of berry throughout the cream.

        Shape the Clusters: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the creamy berry mixture onto the prepared sheet. Use the back of the spoon to gently flatten each cluster to help them hold their shape.

          Add Toppings: Top each cluster with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and chopped nuts for an extra layer of flavor and crunch. If using chocolate chips, melt them in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, then drizzle over each cluster.

            Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2-4 hours, or until the clusters are firm and fully frozen.

              Serve: Once frozen, enjoy the clusters immediately or transfer them to an airtight container for storage of up to one month. If storing, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying for the perfect texture.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the clusters on a decorative platter garnished with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance. Consider pairing them with a chilled berry smoothie for a delightful treat!
