Ingredients
1 cup wild blueberries (frozen) 1/2 cup raspberries (frozen) 1/2 cup coconut cream 1 cup water 1/4 cup honey 1 tsp lemon zest 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine the wild blueberries and raspberries with half the coconut cream and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully blend the fruit mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender.
In another bowl, combine the remaining coconut cream, honey, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together to form a frothy sauce.
Strain the blended fruit mix through a fine mesh sieve into a separate container, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Mix the strained fruit liquid with the creamy honey mixture and stir until fully combined. Pour the mixture into two chilled dessert glasses or bowls.
Freeze for 4 hours or overnight until set. When ready to serve, allow it to thaw slightly for 10 minutes before diving in. Enjoy your Nordic Frozen Delight!
