Cold Nights and Berry Shortbreads


Still on the detox. This is a little something I made up to satisfy my ever present sweet tooth on a cold and cozy night. I also drew in the frost on the window, lit a candle, and wrapped presents.




Berry Shortbreads
Crust:
-1 cup of almond flour
-1/4 cup of coconut flour
-1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
-1/4 cup almond butter
-3 Tbs coconut oil 
Mix together everything but the oil briefly. Add the oil until the dough comes together. Shape into little cups and place on a greased cookie sheet. 

Filling: 
- 1/4 cup blueberries
-1/4 cup raspberries
-1/4 cup pitted dark cherries
-1 Tbs coconut milk
-1 tsp vanilla 
-1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped or whole pecans
Simmer the fruit and coconut milk in a small saucepan until soft and saucy. Smash the fruit the rest of the way into a kind of chutney. It will boil down most of the way on it's own. Add the pecans, vanilla, and cinnamon. Spoon a little generously into each cup, and bake at 350 for 15 min. 
Keep in mind, these contain no sugar, so if you are ok with sweetening it up a bit in addition to natural sugars then throw in some honey to the fruit filling.
