Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries

1/2 cup almond butter (choose either smooth or crunchy based on preference)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for coating)

1/4 cup crushed almonds or almond slices (for garnish)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, to facilitate mixing)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberries: Begin by gently rinsing the fresh raspberries under cold running water. After rinsing, carefully pat them dry using a paper towel. Set the raspberries aside, ensuring they are moisture-free for optimal coating.

    Create the Almond Butter Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond butter with honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, sea salt, and coconut oil (if using). Use a spatula or spoon to stir the mixture vigorously until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well blended.

      Coat the Raspberries: Take each raspberry and dip it into the almond butter mixture. Make sure each one is fully coated by rolling it around gently in the mixture. For easier handling, hold each raspberry by its stem or use a toothpick to skewer them.

        Optional Coconut Coating: If you choose to add shredded coconut, prepare a shallow dish with the coconut. After dipping the raspberries in the almond butter, roll them in the shredded coconut until they are generously covered on all sides.

          Arrange the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place each coated raspberry on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between them as they may spread slightly during freezing.

            Garnish for Presentation: After all the raspberries are coated and arranged on the sheet, sprinkle crushed almonds or almond slices over the tops of the clusters. This adds extra crunch and enhances the visual appeal.

              Freeze the Clusters: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Allow the raspberry almond butter clusters to freeze for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely firm and frozen through.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the clusters from the baking sheet. Store any extra clusters in an airtight container in the freezer for future enjoyment. These delightful bites are best served straight from the freezer, providing a refreshing treat for any occasion!
