Choco-Macaroonies!  A yummy, easy healthy dessert!


4 cups shredded coconut
7-9 Medjool dates
1/4 c. raw cacao or cocoa powder
2 Tblsp. Coconut oil
seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean or 1 Tsp. alcohol free vanilla extract
pinch sea salt


Process the coconut and cocoa, then add the pitted dates and process until it begins to clump up.  You may need to add a few more dates for taste, or a Tbs. of water at a time to get the right consistency. Add the rest and process.  Roll into Tbs. size balls and if you like you can roll the balls in powdered coconut (just use a coffee grinder to make powder from your shredded coconut, or your processor. If you are using the processor, do this step before making the macaroons)

No bake dessert = Tastes great!

You can dehydrate until warm 4 hours up to 24 hours for nice crisp macaroons.  Or you can chill and serve or just and serve as is.

An easy banana no bake dessert is banana ice cream.. even if you are not a big fan of banana flavored desserts, try this!  You may be more familiar with the cooked version of bananas: banana pudding; banana bread...I wasn't a huge fan of cooked banana flavor.  
Bananas warm?  :(


This easy banana no bake dessert is what we eat many times a week ESPECIALLY in the summer!


Banana Ice Cream

4-6 frozen bananas, frozen HARD!  
seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
pinch sea salt (optional)


To freeze bananas, I recommend placing them on a cookie sheet with a couple of inches in between each banana.  If you put them in a freezer bag they do not freeze as hard.


In a food procceser, pulse the bananas and vanilla together until still form and a teeny-tiny bit chunky.  Serve on cone, raw or regular or in a bowl.  You may process it a bit longer and it will turn into soft serve.  It tastes just like soft serve.  Kids love this easy banana no bake dessert

Want to make a sundae out of it?

Easy Fudge Sauce

1/3 cup raw cocoa
1/2 Medjool dates, soaked 20 minutes in warm water. (reserve the water after draining) or 1/2 c. maple syrup or honey or agave.
1/4 tsp. alcohol free vanilla extract or seeds scraped form 1/2 bean

Blend all in your blender until smooth.  If you are using the dates, then use some of the soak water to facilitate smooth blending!  Top your ice cream with this and add a few walnuts or pecans! YUM!  

I hope you enjoy these easy healthy :)

In good health,
Kirsten
