This recipe pretty much screams summer! Healthy mango and coconut icecream bars. Oh yehhhh.
Another epic recipe collab with SupaBarn. We stock up on things like cashews, coconut milk, desiccated coconut and cacao from Supabarn so we always have the staples to make a healthy sweet treat just like this one. So #organised!
We reckon these delish mango and coconut icecream bars would be a perfect addition to the Xmas dessert buffet. Perfect for all the people who don’t like Christmas mince pies or Xmas pudding!
The secret to making these healthy mango and coconut icecream bars perfect is in the soaking of nuts. Yes, it kinda seems annoying but if you soak ya nuts overnight you will have a smooth, delish sweet treat that looks good and tastes good!
This recipe was actually first made for our Make Life Merry challenge (which we’ve renamed Get Merry Challenge). It was such a huge hit, we just had to share it with the world this summer.
Oh and if mango isn’t your thing feel free to swap to your nearest and dearest fruit. Think strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, peach… alright you get the picture.
Oh! And if the fruit isn’t in season use frozen fruit! BOOM, easy peasy.
If you make it, let us know!
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
