Ingredients

  • 2/3 can coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup coconut chips
  • 3 bananas sliced
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mangoes cubed
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 10 ginger snaps or crunchy ginger cookies

Equipment and Utensils

  • Small saucepan
  • Food processor or blender
  • 4 Sundae bowls goblets or martini glasses

Instructions

  • Place coconut milk, coconut chips, 2 bananas, maple syrup and vanilla extract into a small saucepan.
  • Heat contents on medium heat, bananas will begin to soften and disintegrate.
  • At this point remove from heat and set aside.
  • Purée mango in blender or food processor, it should only take a few seconds, then set aside.
  • Pour heavy cream into a bowl and split vanilla bean and add the seeds to cream.
  • Whip cream until you arrive at a silky consistency - try not to whip the cream too firm, and then set aside.
  • Crush ginger snaps/cookies. I used my NutriBullet, just a quick pulse is necessary. Alternatively, place in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin or bottle, by rolling over the ziploc bag, back and forth. Set aside once done.
  • Add the last sliced banana to the coconut milk mixture and stir until the recently added banana slices are coated with coconut milk.

To Serve

  • Spoon a generous amount of the banana and coconut mixture in the bottom of your sundae bowl, goblet or martini glass.
  • Layer with 2-3 spoonfuls of mango purée.
  • Add a layer of vanilla cream and then top generously with crushed ginger snaps.
  • Serve immediately.
