Blackberry Lime Hearts
Hearts
- 1/3 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
- zest from 2 limes
- 1 cup cashews, soaked until soft
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup agave or desired sweetener
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- Blend all heart ingredients (except blackberries) until smooth.
- Place a layer of berries in the bottom of your mold. I use this one: silicone heart mold
Fill with lime mixture almost to the top. They will expand a little with freezing. - Drop the pan a few times to get the air bubbles out.
- Freeze until solid.
- Un-mold and top with ganache.
Ganache
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup agave
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- To make ganache, whisk all ingredients together. You will have extra
- ganache but it stores well.

I love love love this recipe. I made it twice now and it’s delicious. It makes it fun since I can now have a yummy frozen dessert while my hubby has his ice cream sandwich. I love this way more than his dairy products. Thank you for creating a yummy for those that cannot have dairy or choose not to.

This is my favorite frozen dessert. The combination of flavors is pure heaven and so refreshing. I use the smallest blackberries I can find. The lime juice has to have a really nice flavor since there’s a lot of it. I soak the cashews really well so they add texture without a lot of cashew flavor.. Before eating the hearts I let them sit out for 10 or 15 minutes after unmolding them . An hour in the fridge might work too.

How do you serve? Frozen? Or sit in the fridge after frozen?

I heard these recipes are only for specials occasion and not to over use them because to much of anything isn’t good.

They are desserts and should be treated as desserts. 🙂

For the ganache do you use cacao powder or cacao liquor?

It says to blend all ingredients in heart list
Do you mean blackberries too
Susan wrote on July 4, 2013
No, you do not blend the blackberries with the other ingredients. 🙂 I have corrected the instructions.

Oh wow! What a creative dessert. I bet the ganache really sends these over the top.
I have so many frozen blackberries from last year’s pickings. Do you reckon I could use frozen instead of fresh? After all they’re going to be frozen anyway..
