Ingredients

• 400ml coconut cream, canned
• 2 tablespoons rice malt syrup
• 1 1/2 cups organic frozen mixed berries, thawed
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 teaspoon Melrose Essential Reds
• 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin

Method

1. Line a tray with baking paper and set aside.
2. Heat coconut cream and rice malt syrup in a small pot over a low heat and stir to combine.
3. Turn off the heat and add half of the gelatin to the pot, stirring well until dissolved.
4. In a blender, combine mixed berries, boiling water and vanilla and blend until combined. Add Melrose Essential Reds and the remainder of the gelatin. Blend for another minute until smooth and dissolved.
5. Pour the coconut cream mixture into the lined tray, followed by gently pouring (in a swirling motion) the berry mix on top. You can use the tip of a wooden skewer to create more swirls by placing it in the mixture and moving it in different directions.
6. Place it in the fridge for at least an hour to set. Slice into squares and enjoy!
7. These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
