• 2 tablespoon water

• 1 teaspoon grass-fed gelatin

Ingredients (Cashew Layers)

4. Line muffin tins with six paper liners. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cashew mixture into each tin, and freeze 10 minutes.

5. Add 2 teaspoons of strawberry jelly to each cup, then finish with 2 more tablespoons of the cashew mixture.

6. Freeze 10 minutes to set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
