Last week I had a craving for a dessert—something sweet, creamy, and satisfying—and so decided to raid my kitchen in attempts to whip something up to satisfy my sweet tooth. With no eggs, butter, or flour in sight, I decided to give up my crusade and just pour myself a sad little bowl of milk, muesli, and broken dreams.
Light bulb!
Who says I have to curb my cravings? Wink
I grabbed a few glasses, and started engineering me a tower of deliciousness, using whatever felt right from my pantry and fridge and the result was a winner! A sweet, tart, crunchy, and creamy concoction that not only made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, but was also super healthy! WIN! Layers upon layers of creamy coconut yogurt, crunchy muesli, and fresh fruit were enough to set me off the brink.
If you’re interested in a sweet-tooth-lean-stomach dessert, look no further!
PS. The picture does not look like much only because I was way too eager to get it in my mouth and couldn’t be bothered to make it look pretty. I assure you, however, the taste is gold.
Ingredients:
- Greek yogurt
- Bananas - The riper the better
- Papaya
- Pineapple
- Powdered coconut milk/grated coconut flesh
- Orange zest
- Mint
- Crunchy toasted muesli or granola
- Honey/raw sugar
Here’s how to make it:
- Macerate chunks of papaya and pineapple in honey or sugar, mint, and orange zest and let stand while preparing everything else
- Squish bananas into a puree either with fingers or food processor (fingers = less dishes and more fun!)
- Mix coconut powder or flesh with yogurt and add a squirt of honey
- Start layering banana puree and coconut-yogurt mix alternately
- Top with a generous amount of crunchy muesli and the pineapple-papaya mixture
- Refrigerate until firm or as long as your will power will allow you to
- Dig into these babies and enjoy!
There you go.
You’re welcome.
I love you, too.
Kbye.
