Healthy Banana Split: A Refreshing and Nostalgic Dessert
If there is one dessert that transports me directly back to my childhood, it is the Banana Split. Every time I got good grades at school, my mom would reward me by taking me to a famous ice cream parlor in Cali called Dari. Without hesitation, I would always order a Banana Split: sweet, creamy and full of colors. This classic is also a favorite in the fruit shops of my city, where it is still enjoyed with fresh fruit and lots of flavor.
In Berlin, the ice cream culture is strong, especially on sunny days. The queues at ice cream parlors can be endless, so lately I've opted to make my own versions at home. If you've ever craved delicious ice cream but without leaving the house, this recipe is for you.
An easy, healthy dessert that's perfect for the whole family
Banana Split is not only a classic, but also a fun option to share with children and get them involved in the kitchen. They can decorate their dessert however they like and experiment with different toppings. It's a perfect way to enjoy a special family moment.
Ingredients: (1 serving)
2 bananas (one frozen for the ice cream, the other fresh to serve)
1 cup (approx.) of creamy coconut milk
1 cup of frozen berries
Optional toppings (add whatever you like):
Pecans
Coconut flakes
Cocoa nibs
Hemp seeds
Puffed amaranth
Fresh strawberries
Preparation:
In a food processor, mix the frozen banana and berries with the coconut milk. Add half the milk first and adjust the amount according to the desired texture.
Once you have a creamy consistency, place the mixture in the freezer for 15 minutes to thicken. The time may vary depending on the power of your freezer.
To assemble the Banana Split:
Cut the banana in half lengthwise and place it on a plate.
Serve a generous scoop of your ice cream in the center.
Decorate with the toppings of your choice.
A delicious, refreshing dessert full of nostalgia.
