Brazilian Coffee Bananas

My big kids enjoy yogurt with some added fresh fruits or berries. This yogurt dessert is so easy to prepare .... just nice to be served right after our dinner ^-^!




Recipe adapted from the cookbook "Desserts All Around The Year" by Martha Day.

Brazilian Coffee Bananas
Serves 2
Ingredients :
2 small ripe bananas
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules or powder
1 tablespoon muscovado sugar
140g Greek-style yogurt (I used low-fat natural yogurt)
1 tablespoon flaked almonds (lightly toasted)

Method :
1) Peel and slice one banana and mash the remaining with a fork.

2) Dissolve the coffee in 1 tablespoon of hot water and stir into the mashed bananas.

3) Spoon a little of the mashed bananas mixture into 2 serving dishes and sprinkle with sugar. Top with a spoonful of yogurt, then repeat until all the ingredients are used up.

4) Swirl the last layer of yogurt for a marbled effect. Finish with a few banana slices and flaked almonds. Serve cold. Best eaten within about an hour of making.



Yummy ... Not too heavy for our after meal dessert. Relax and enjoy a bowl of light and smooth yogurt dessert with a hint of coffee flavour. :D
