...to cover..

• shredded coconut as needed

2. handle little amount of dought and roll between palms to make little balls
3. into a little dish (I used a jar plug) pour some shredded coconut and dip thereinside one ball by one, assuring all its surface to be covered of coconut flakes
4. carefully put them into a airtight container and store in the fridge or even in the freezer

These bites have a really soft and enfolding texture; The coconut, besides, give to them such a freshness due to which you won't be able to stob eating them and, as it happened to me, they will be eaten in ten minutes or so, without even the time to put them into the fridge ;)

I hope you'll have more self-control than I have, let me know what end will your truffles have to face, I'll be back soon, kisses,

Raw vegan banana ice cream

Raw vegan banana ice cream

garnished with dessicated apricots and pomeganate seeds

...as I promised you, I finally managed in giving you the recipe of an all-natural, raw and vegan, banana ice cream which needs only one ingredient to be prepared, without considering the garnishment, for sure.

The recipe had been ready to be published for two weeks yet really. I only needed the time for doing it, because of the amount of things I had to do and to study.

All things considered, I'm sure you'll be happy with trying this recipe because it's easy, quick, and it only needs 1 INGREDIENT, fine thing, isn't it?? Here's how to do it...:

Ingredients for each person:

...for the ice cream...

• 1 big banana

...to garnish...

• 1 desiccated apricot
• 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Method:

1. cut banana into chunks and put them, onto a sheet of baking paper or aluminium foil, into a container, into the freezer all along a night.
2. aside, half open longitudinally the apricot; cut out two hearts from them and hash what is left
3. just before serving, take out banana chunks from the freezer and blend them into a food blender until having a smooth cream
4. finally serve it into a cup, garnished with apricots hearts and crumble and with pomegranate seeds

And here it is, ready to relish:
