Raw Strawberry Milkshake Hearts
Valentine’s day can make it difficult for anyone trying to keep their sugar intake low. All of those delicious treats on sale at the grocery store… and advertised on the television… and popping up on facebook… and on the front desk at the bank…. oh the temptation!
If you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth without ditching your diet, look no further! These raw strawberry milkshake hearts are naturally sweet, low in carbs, and low in calories. Plus they’re just so darn cute!!
Ingredients
6-8 large strawberries, hulled - blended to make approx 140ml strawberry puree
6-8 tbsp raw maple syrup or sweetener of choice
optional 1 tbsp vanilla extract
8 tbsp coconut oil
80g cashew butter
2 tbsp raw coconut flour
Instructions
In a high powered blender, blitz the strawberries to create a puree. You should end up with approx 140ml - it doesn't have to be exact. Mix in the maple syrup and (optional) vanilla extract.
Pour in the coconut oil and cashew butter and blend until a smooth milkshake-like mixture is formed. Add the coconut flour and blend again until thickened. Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed.
Spoon the mixture into a chocolate mold or ice cube tray and leave to set in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. When it's ready, the fudge should pop out of the mold without crumbling or sticking.
Keep in the freezer for up to a couple of months. Or keep in the fridge for a slightly softer texture for a few weeks. Enjoy!
