Blend the filling ingredients in a high-speed blender until very smooth. Refrigerate tinned coconut milk overnight and then scoop the cream from the top.

Top tip: The extra coconut liquid is brilliant in smoothies.

Divide filling evenly among the muffin cases. Then add a tsp of wild berry honey or your favourite topping if vegan. Tap the muffin tin to release air bubbles. Then freeze until firm.
