Assemble your food processor and fit the knife blade.

Add the mixed berries to the food processor bowl. If you’re using frozen berries, defrost them first.

Attach the lid and check the pusher is in the feed tube. Mix until the berries are puréed down.

Next, add the desiccated coconut, coconut oil and salt to the food processor bowl. Mix until combined.

Use your hands or a spatula to press the mixture into the lined tin and even out the surface. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until firm.

Melting chocolate for the topping

Add the dark chocolate to a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring occasionally to prevent it burning. Alternatively, place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.

Once the chocolate is melted, set aside to cool slightly and thicken.

Cooling and decorating the bars

Remove the coconut mixture from the freezer and turn it out upside down onto a chopping board. Remove the parchment paper and then use a sharp knife to cut into 8 equal rectangles. Trim the edges if needed.

Place a cooling rack over a large baking tray and transfer the bars onto the rack. Pour the melted chocolate over the bars until they’re completely coated.

Chill the bars in the fridge for 30 minutes- 1 hour, until set.

Serve with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and a scattering of fresh mint leaves.

The bars can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for one week, or in the freezer for about a month.
