Mulberry Musings

I absolutely adore sun-dried white mulberries to the point that I’d happily sell my soul for a huge bag of them! They’re expensive little honey-flavoured berries, but packed full of nutrients and so delicious they’re worth every darn penny. I treated myself to a packet recently and concocted the cookies below on a wet afternoon last week when I really should have been doing something more useful… like work!

Here’s my recipe for Magical Mulberry Cookies, which taste like a gloriously sweet, chewy trail bar:

¼ cup cashews
½ cup pecans
1 cup dried white mulberries
¼ cup desiccated coconut
3 tbsp goji berries
2 dessertspoons raw agave nectar
Tiny pinch Celtic sea salt or Himalayan crystal salt

Process the cashews and pecans into small pieces in the food processor. Then add remaining ingredients and process until the mixture begins sticking together. Press into a silicone mould and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up.



The Chocolate Orange Mulberry Cookies were the result of a little further experimentation. They’re insanely good, in a chocolate orange kinda way!

1 cup dried white mulberries
2 generously heaped dessertspoons raw almond butter
¼ cup cacao nibs
1 dessertspoon raw cacao powder
1 tsp orange extract (or a few drops orange essential oil)
Tiny pinch Celtic sea salt or Himalayan crystal salt

Process the cacao nibs and mulberries into small pieces in the food processor. Then add remaining ingredients and process until the mixture begins sticking together. Press into a silicone mould and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up.
