Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • 2 cups full
  • fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, puree the raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries until smooth. Set aside.

Chef’s Insight
