These nice cream bites taste just like summer – the perfect no-nasty treat for those hot afternoons. Mangoes are high in fibre, promoting a healthy gut and aiding digestion. With no baking necessary this is a super easy, delicious treat that can be enjoyed by the entire family.

Ingredients

Base

• 1 cup own almond meal
• ¾ cup own coconut flour
• 1/3 cup rice malt syrup
• 1 tbsp own coconut oil
• 1 tbsp water (more if needed)

“Nice cream” filling

• 2 mangos
• 2 cups own cashews (soaked overnight in 2 cups water)
• ½ cup coconut cream
• 4 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Topping (optional)

• ¼ cup desiccated coconut

Method

1. Peel and remove seed from mangos & drain soaking cashews
2. In a food processor, blend filling ingredients (let this process for a while – the longer it does, the smoother it will be)
3. Whilst filling is processing, in a mixing bowl combine base ingredients this should form a dough like consistency. Press mixture into a lined container (if you want thick layers use a smaller container.) Place in freezer.
4. Once filling gets to a smooth consistency, pour over base layer and top with coconut. Return to freezer and allow to completely set before cutting into desired pieces.
5. Enjoy!
