I got the idea for this where a lot of my ideas stem from, Pinterest. It is such an awesome site! I seriously could model my life off that site – from my hairstyle, to the way I paint my nails, to the clothes I wear, to the workouts I do, to the things I put in my mouth… It gets my creative juices flowing in every way! I just can’t get enough of it!
The image I saw on Pinterest was basically just slices of banana with peanut butter dolloped in between each slice and then frozen. Genius! But I decided to take this to a whole new level, as I do with most things, and thought, “Oh… My… God… What about if I dip them in melted coconut & cacao butter before freezing?!”. And then shortly after THAT thought, THIS thought popped up, “Oh no, hold up, WAIT! What about if I dip them in melted coconut & cacao butter then rolled them in shredded coconut before freezing?! YES, THIS WILL HAPPEN RIGHT NOW!”. And up I sprang and dashed into the kitchen.
I used Sanitarium’s Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter and Artisana’s Cacao Bliss Raw Chocolate Coconut Butter (I bought this from Norton St Grocer in Bondi Junction, Sydney).
Also, apologies, I don’t really measure things when I am creating in the kitchen so I don’t have any macros or calories for you! But I found 3 or 4 of these little babies were enough to satisfy a sweet craving without feeling like I had gone overboard!
Ingredients at the ready!
