Here’s a vegan treat that’s perfect for all your dessert (and breakfast!) needs.
“It tastes delicious, is very nutritious, and even counts for one of your servings of fruit in a day,” says its creator Siobhan O’Hora*. “Bonus!
“Leave yourself approximately two hours to freeze the bananas before you plan on eating this.”
Ingredients
2 medium bananas
2 tablespoons almond milk
1 tablespoon hazelnut butter (or another nut butter)
1 teaspoon cacao powder
¼ teaspoon pure ground vanilla pod powder
Toppings (optional)
Berries
Chopped nuts
Coconut
Preparation
- Slice the bananas into coin shapes and place into a bag in a single layer then place into your freezer for approximately two hours.
- Take out the bananas and put them, along with the milk, into a food processor and blitz until they go creamy/smooth. Remove half the mix; this will be the banana layer.
- For the chocolate layer, add in the cacao, vanilla, and nut butter, then blitz again for a few seconds until combined.
- Pour into glasses in layers and top with whatever you desire, e.g., berries, chopped nuts, coconut etc.
Makes 1 tall glass or 2 small glasses
