Equipment
- Food Processor: I love my Cuisinart Food Processor. You can also use a blender in a pinch.
Ingredients
- Frozen bananas: The browner the sweeter when it comes to bananas. Don't throw fruit away if it looks too brown, just throw it in the freezer for later.
- Coconut milk, full fat: I highly recommend using full fat canned coconut milk for this recipe. You need it for the creamy texture.
- Cocoa powder
- Cinnamon (optional)
- Chocolate chips: Make sure to use dairy free chocolate chips to make this recipe Paleo compatible.
Serving Suggestions
I love topping with a sprinkle of chocolate chips or crunchy granola. It's also great with dried fruit!
