Ingredients
Whipped Cream
- 400g Coconut cream
- 2 Chopped and frozen bananas
- A pinch of stevia
Fruit Salad
- 200g Strawberries (a small punnet)
- 1/2 Pineapple (or sliced orange)
- 1/2 Rockmelon

Method
You will need to chop and freeze the bananas the night before so they go hard and are perfect for this recipe. Pour the coconut cream into a blender (our Ladyship blender is perfect) and place the chopped banana on top. Add a pinch of stevia (or add one tablet) and blend until smooth.
Add chopped fruit to serving bowls and spoon over the whipped coconut cream. Sprinkle with blueberries and cinnamon.
Now you can eat whipped cream guilt-free! Enjoy!
