Ingredients

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp desiccated coconut

1.5 tsp Natvia Natural sweetener

½ cup coconut milk

2 bananas, chopped and frozen

3 tsp cacao powder

1 tbsp coconut milk

Coconut chips to serve

Method

1. In a bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut, sweetener and coconut milk and stir to combine. Place in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes until chia seeds have soaked up liquid and pudding has formed.

2. In a blender or food processor, place chopped frozen banana. Blitz bananas until they become a smooth, ice cream-like consistency. This can take 5-10 minutes depending on the powder of your blender. Bananas become a crumb first before becoming smooth.

3. Add in one tablespoon of coconut milk and 3 teaspoons of cacao powder and pulse to combine all ingredients. Scoop ice cream into a bowl and place in the freezer for 10-20 minutes until it has firmed up.

4. To serve, divide chia pudding into two bowls or cups and top with cacao banana ice cream. Sprinkle chia seeds and coconut chips on top.
