Ingredients

  • 500 g fresh cherries
  • 1/4 cup (65g) coconut butter*
  • 2 tsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup (50g) pistachios, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Pre-line a flat tray and keep in the fridge to cool whilst preparing other ingredients. (Pre-chilling the tray helps coconut coating to set quickly). 
  • In a small mixing bowl mix coconut butter and oil over boiling water to melt. (Use a small saucepan of boiling water and sit bowl over the top. The heat from underneath will melt the coconut in the mixing bowl.) 
  • Prepare pistachios in a small bowl. 
  • Holding the cherry by the stem and dip in coconut and immediately into pistachios. 
  • Place cherries onto pre-chilled tray and store in fridge to set.

Notes

Make it personal:
  • Swap cherries for strawberries.
Recipe tips:
  • Make sure your cherries are dried well.
  • *Coconut butter is different to coconut oil. Coconut butter is the flesh made into a butter. 
Sensitive to nuts? To make these nut free:
  • Swap pistachios for finely chopped pumpkin seeds (pepitas).
