raspberry coconut cream Nutella s'mores

Enjoy this healthy twist on a classic this weekend. but beware: have one and you will definitely want some more...



S'mores are the quintessential campfire treat: a marshmallow roasted over the fire, sandwiched between two graham crackers and a chocolate square. The heat from the marshmallow makes the chocolate all melted and delicious. and the gooey marshmallow contrasts with the crunch of the cracker. 

Now, some people are of the " why ruin a good thing?" mindset and don't want to stray from the traditional s'mores. But I'm in the mindset that asks "why not ?!" because maybe we can make it tastier and healthier!

Raspberries are in season right now, so they are a perfect addition. And we all know how well raspberries pair with Nutella, right? But Nutella doesn't scream healthy, so instead, make a simple, non-processed homemade version with roasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate.

Skip the roasted marshmallow for some whipped coconut cream, did i mention these tasty treats contains no added sugar and is dairy free?

Method:
For the homemade Nutella: preheat the oven at 180 degrees. line baking tray with parchment paper. Roast the hazelnuts for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool. With a kitchen towel, roll hazelnuts around on a baking sheet to remove the skins. discard the remaining skins and transfer the hazelnuts to a food processor. Blend for 5 minutes, until the nuts form into a butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Transfer to the food processor with salt and pulse until combined. Let cool in the fridge while you prep the other ingredients, about 5 minutes.

For s'mores:
Assemble s'mores by layering approximately 1/2 tbsp nutella, 4 raspberries and 1tbsp whipped coconut cream between 2 graham cracker squares.
