Ingredients
  

For the base:

1 ½ cups almond flour

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the filling:

1 cup coconut cream (chilled overnight in the fridge)

1/2 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon grated lime zest

For the topping:

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Additional berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until it is well combined and forms a cohesive dough.

      - Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed. You can use a spatula or your hands to create a compact and even layer. Set the dish aside.

        Make the Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, scoop the chilled coconut cream from the fridge (discard the liquid). Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the coconut cream until it becomes light, fluffy, and smooth.

            - Carefully fold in the mixed berries, honey or agave syrup, fresh lime juice, and lime zest. Stir gently to combine, being mindful not to mash the berries too much; you want some to remain whole for added texture.

              Assemble the Squares:

                - Spread the luscious coconut berry filling evenly over the prepared base in the baking dish.

                  - Lightly sprinkle the unsweetened shredded coconut topping evenly over the berry filling.

                    Freeze:

                      - Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is completely firm to the touch.

                        Serve:

                          - Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and allow it to sit for a few minutes at room temperature to make slicing easier.

                            - Cut the frozen mixture into squares. If desired, garnish with additional berries for a vibrant presentation. Enjoy immediately, or return the squares to the freezer for later delight.

                                Presentation Tips: Arrange the squares on a colorful platter and scatter extra berries around for a tropical look. A sprig of mint on top of each square can add a refreshing touch.
