Description

This Paleo Nut ‘n’ Berry Crunch is a hearty and healthy dessert that is sure to please a crowd.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups of diced strawberries, cored
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds
  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 5 tbsp maple syrup, divided
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Place strawberries in a bowl, add lemon juice and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Mix in blueberries, raspberries and 2 tbsp maple syrup to the bowl containing the strawberries, and refrigerate while you prepare the rest.
  3. Add slivered almonds, walnuts, pecans, sea salt, cinnamon and 3 tbsp maple syrup to a food processor, and pulse until nuts have broken down a bit.
  4. In a 2 quart serving dish, layer berry mix and nut mix: add ¾ of the berry mix as a first layer; add the entire nut mix as the second layer; add the remaining ¼ berry mix as the third layer. Chill for 1 hour before serving, and serve with favorite whipped topping and a cherry on top.

Notes

  1. Disclaimer: the photos in this post contain gluten free rolled oats instead of slivered almonds, which would make the recipe non-Paleo. My recipe calls for unbleached slivered almonds, instead of gluten free oats, making it 100% Paleo approved.
