This Paleo recipe uses the sweetness of the banana slices rather than sugar to make a delicious dessert. Makes 2 servings. Approximate preparation time: 5 minutes, although the coconut milk must be chilled before preparation.
A quick and tasty Paleo dessert.

That looks really good! I love using banana to sweeten things.
I’ve been seeing coconut milk whipped topping recipes and I’m wondering where you can get coconut milk?
You can get coconut milk at a regular grocery store. You can usually find it with the Asian and/or Hispanic foods. We usually get ours from Walmart because that’s where I’ve been able to find the best prices on it around here.
Or, you can make your own: http://ournaturaljourney.com/2012/02/23/how-to-make-your-own-coconut-milk/ I haven’t tried to use homemade coconut milk for whipped topping yet, though, so I’m not sure how well it would work. The batch I made wasn’t as creamy as the canned version we usually buy.
This does look good! I’m going to give it a try! Dark chocolate works for Audrey with her milk allergy, too. Thanks!
Sure thing! Let me know how it goes.
