• 1 tbsp (15ml) vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup (120ml) coconut oil, melted
Instructions
1. Preparation Method
2. Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until softened. This is crucial for a smooth, lump-free texture.
3. If using fresh berries, remove any stems and rinse thoroughly. Place the berries in a high-speed blender and blend until you have a smooth purée.
4. Add the softened cream cheese, melted coconut oil, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract to the blender with the berry purée. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
5. Carefully pour the mixture into silicone candy molds or a mini muffin tin. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are firm and fully set.
