Food -- A Great Dessert

Here's an easy quick recipe for a nice healthy dessert. It may be a mousse or a milkshake. You choose.

Base ingredients:

  milk,

  banana,

  cocoa (unsweetened powder)


Basic procedure:

   Slice a ripe banana into pieces 1-3 inches long, put in a mixing cup.

   Add cocoa powder (about 2 tablespoons per banana).

   Add milk (depending on how thick you want the result.

      I started with about 1/3 cup for a mousse consistency).

   Machine mix/blend until it reaches the thickness you want.

   Spoon/pour it out and eat or drink it.


Basic options:

   Chill the banana for 30 minutes - 2 hours before combining ingredients for a chilled dessert.

   Add ice (small pieces) if you need it NOW.

   Vary the amount of milk to adjust the thickness of the final dessert


Other alternatives:

   Use a nut milk (almond, etc).

   Use other fruit like berries, use peanut butter, use healthy seeds or oats.

  Add sweeteners: honey, molasses, Stevia sweetener, or any others   (sugar-free is fine).

  Add other flavors for a more complex flavor: cinnamon or vanilla extract or coffee flavor.


For an attractive dessert, top it with grated chocolate or a whipped creme topping.
