( I am in love with my dessert bullet)

N.B.

This recipe is 100 % local!!! You can use almond milk or any milk of your choice instead of coconut milk. You can add other fruits and flavours to the mix. Basically, you can top your ice cream with as many toppings as you like for example shredded coconut or chocolate chips. If you do not have a dessert bullet you can make the mix and store it in a container in the freezer then thaw and scoop when you are ready for a bowl .

You can have a really huge bowl of this and not worry about weight gain.  It’s also good for your health. This has a strong banana flavour so it can be an acquired taste for some, an adventure taste trip for others, a more appealing dessert and or an addition to the breakfast bar for my friends out there who suffer from celiac, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and other gluten intolerance (we feel your pain too!)
