Frozen C.B.A. Dessert

Hello!
Don't mind if you do, right?


C.B.A. (or at least C.B.) is a staple in our house. See Son below.
C.B. stands for Chocolate Banana.



Adding the A is because we had extra avocados lying around. 
Yup. Avocado. There's the A.

But just look at this fresh treat. You'd never even know there was avocado in there.
And the taste? 

Very sweet, smooth and chocolatey.

A sure crowd pleaser.


So let's get to it, shall we?

Ingredients:
2 frozen bananas
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup cacao (or cocoa) powder
2 tsp stevia (or other sweetener)
1/4 cup almond milk (optional--no almond milk makes dessert stiffer for longer)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)


Pack all those ingredients into your high speed blender.

Then BLEND, using a tamper to get all chunks smooth but not too loose. 
This batch may be too loose because of the almond milk. 


Since I have piping tools, I decided to get fancy and put the CBA in a piping bag and swirl it around in a cute dessert cup.  

But you don't have to. It certainly will taste the same right out of the blender and into your mouth. (In case bowls and cups and motivation are scarce.)


If you do happen to find motivation, toppings are always a nice way to dress up the dessert. Especially if you're having guests over. 

I chose chopped walnuts. Shredded coconut, cacao nibs, sprinkles . . .you name it and/or have it, do it.


Eat up before it turns into a milkshake.

Or don't. That's good, too. 

This recipe serves 2.
