Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas

1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 cup chilled coconut cream

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or granola

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by peeling the ripe bananas and slicing them into small rounds. Set aside half of the banana slices for layering and the other half for blending in the next steps.

    Blend the Cream: In a blender, combine the chilled coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Incorporate Bananas: Add the sliced bananas that you set aside for blending into the creamy mix. Blend again until the bananas are completely integrated, creating a thick and luscious texture.

        Fold in the Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the banana-coconut mixture, taking care to reserve a few berries for decoration later. Stir until the berries are evenly mixed throughout the cream.

          Layer the Cups: Using silicone cups or small ramekins, start assembling your dessert. Place a spoonful of the banana-berry mixture at the bottom of each cup, followed by a layer of banana slices. Add another layer of the mixture on top, and repeat the process until each cup is filled. Finish with a spoonful of the berry mixture on top for a colorful presentation.

            Freeze: Carefully transfer the filled cups to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set and firm to the touch.

              Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the cups from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier serving. If desired, add a sprinkle of optional toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or granola for extra crunch and flavor. Savor your deliciously refreshing treat!
