Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced pineapple, fresh or canned
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tablespoons cashew (or any other nut) butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup chocolate chips, white, milk or dark
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or use a silicon baking mat.Place pineapple in a medium mixing bowl along with the Greek yogurt, coconut, cashew butter and vanilla. Stir gently to combine using a spatula. Using a tablespoon make 12 (or more smaller clusters) spoonful’s or clusters of the pineapple mixture onto the lined tray, ensuring it will fit in the freezer first. Leave a little gap in between each spoonful. Transfer to the freezer and leave for one hour or until frozen solid.
Chocolate Coating
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave at 50% power with 30 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Remove the clusters on the baking tray from the freezer. Working quickly, one by one add the clusters to the melted chocolate. Use two forks or a serving spoon to turn them around in the chocolate until fully coated. Lay each one back on the lined tray. If the chocolate should start to set from dropping the frozen yogurt clusters in it, gently warm it again.Add any toppings while the chocolate is still wet - keep an eye out as you go as the chocolate will harden quickly.Add your favourite toppings: coconut shreds, flaked salt, cinnamon, sprinkles or chopped nuts/seeds.When done, return to the freezer immediately. If you want to eat them right away, just freeze for 15 minutes, remove and serve. To have at another time you will need to take them out of the freezer about 30 minutes before you are ready to eat so they soften a little.Store in a resealable food bag or air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
