Why I Like this Recipe

I enjoy this recipe because it's quick, healthy, and satisfies my sweet tooth while still being nourishing. The mix of banana, mango, walnuts, and chocolate gives a nice balance of creamy, crunchy, and fruity flavours.

Tips and Variations

  • Swap a banana for a pineapple for a tangier tropical flavour.
  • Try strawberries or raspberries instead of blueberries.
  • For less sugar, use unsweetened chicory syrup. You can also use maple syrup or honey if you like.
  • Pecans or almonds also work well instead of walnuts.
  • Serve chilled for a cool summer dessert.
  • Add a spoonful of natural yoghurt for extra creaminess.
  • Sprinkle on some coconut flakes for more tropical flavour. This dessert pairs nicely with iced green tea or a mild herbal tea.

Meal Storage

Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a day. Add walnuts and chocolate chips just before serving so they stay crisp. If you make it ahead, wait to add the chicory syrup until you're ready to eat.
