Banana & coconut Ice cream bites
These delicious ice cream bites look too good to be true; but they are completely sugar-free, dairy-free, and full of clean ingredients, so you can let your kids enjoy them without a guilty conscience!
Ingredients: (makes 10-12 bites)
2 bananas, peeled and mashed so there are no lumps left
130ml coconut milk
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
80g ground unsweetened coconut
100g dark, unsweetened chocolate
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Put the mashed bananas, coconut milk, 1 tablepoon honey, vanilla essence and 40g ground coconut in a pan and cook over medium heat for about 45 minutes or until the mixture has reduced to about 40% of its original volume. Make sure you stir the mixture occasionally so it doesn't stick to the pan. Place in the freezer to harden for about 45 minutes.
Once the mixture is hard but not yet frozen (you should be able to mould it with your hands), mould into approximately 10 small balls, and then place them back into the freezer.
Melt the chocolate together with the coconut oil, 40g ground coconut and the remaining tablespoon of honey in a bowl over boiling water, making sure that the chocolate does not make contact with the water or steam.
Once the chocolate is fully melted take the bites and roll them around in the melted chocolate until covered from all sides. Place back in the freezer.
Keep in the freezer until ready to serve.
