Spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press firmly to form clusters. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden brown. Allow to cool completely to ensure crispiness.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It transforms simple frozen ingredients into something that feels like an indulgent dessert.
- The homemade granola clusters provide a crucial, salty crunch that balances the sweet fruit base.
02 -
- If your blender is struggling, let the frozen fruit sit on the counter for five minutes to soften slightly, but do not defrost it completely or you lose the thickness.
- The granola must be totally cooled before adding it to the bowl, otherwise, it will get soggy within minutes.
03 -
- Toast your coconut flakes on the stovetop quickly for an extra layer of flavor before sprinkling them on top.
- Invest in a tamper tool for your blender to push the ingredients down without adding extra liquid.
