Hells yeah. You heard it right. Peanut butter banana split. One that you don’t have to feel guilty about eating. <<WHAT??!!>>
Have I ever told you that sweets are my thang? I can do savory….but I LOVE sweets. In our house my husband rocks the dinners and I rock the desserts. Last night while we were all enjoying our o-so-delicious dessert, he actually had the gall to challenge me to a dessert challenge. Pffffffft. Yeah right, like he’d win? Jolie said she’ll be the judge. I’ll let you know how that goes (although we all know I’ll win) in the next few weeks.
Anyway….onto the recipe, cuz I know that’s what you really want.
Here’s the super super simple recipe. It took me all of about 5 minutes to throw these together. Sorry I don’t have a picture of the end product….but I wasn’t thinking “camera” when they were done….I was thinking “devour as quickly as possible.” I’m sure you understand. After you make yours send me over the pictures of your creations and we’ll have a who has the prettiest peanut butter banana split contest! :)
Ingredients:
Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream (my favorite brand is Coconut Bliss, but theres’s also the one I used last night, the SO Delicious…both are low glycemic and only sweetened with agave nectar)
Cacao Butter (or virgin coconut oil)
Carob Powder (or Cacao Powder…I used Carob because it’s all I had and it tastes very similar to chocolate)
Organic Peanut Butter (creamy with sea salt is best)
Organic Banana
Directions:
Make your chocolate (or in my case carob) sauce. Take a hunk of your cacao butter and melt it down on low heat. Once it’s fully melted, transfer it to a ceramic of glass bowl and whisk in carob or cacao powder and agave nectar until you’ve created a semi-thick chocolate sauce.
In a separate bowl, add 2 or 3 scoops of your coconut milk vanilla ice-cream, top that with a generous drizzle of your peanut butter, top that with slices of your banana and then top the whole thing with your chocolate sauce. Grab a spoon, dig in, enjoy, lick the bowl clean.
Talk to you next week!

Who doesn’t love a banana split? Your carob sauce recipe sounds divine. I only buy So Delicious coconut milk ice cream now, because I found out that Coconut Bliss sold out to a dairy company.
