Raw banana split!

Okay, I finally made the yummiest raw banana split!

Step 1: Make your raw ice cream. Blend (in a blender preferably, or a food processor if you're lazy like me): 1/3 c soaked raw cashews, 1/3 c raw sugar/maple syrup/agave, 1+ t vanilla.

Pour your raw ice cream mixture into ice cube trays. Freeze.

Step 2: When you're ready to make your banana split, get your toppings ready first.

Chop your fruits, add agave nectar and let sit.

Mix your chocolate syrup: oil + agave + cacao powder. (See earlier posts.)

Gather your toppings: buck wheaties, goji berries, raw cacao nibs (or chocolate chips, if you're like my husband and you're a choc-a-holic.)

Step 3: Put your raw ice cream cubes into the food processor. Add a spoon of water or two. Blend under smooth.

Step 4: Put your banana splits together! Just something we found out: using all the raw ice cream cubes between two people make HUGE banana splits. So, I hope you're hungry!

Layer your bananas, ice cream and toppings:

This really takes less time than you think it does. If you keep some frozen ice cream around all the time, it's easy to put together.

YUM!

  1. Was this an April Fool's prank? I have seriously been craving a banana split since you posted this. Evil woman.

  2. Dang, I am so sorry! These past few weeks have been crazy! I've got all the ingredients for the split - except the banana.

    I swear I'll do it asap.
