Ingredients (Makes 2 portions)

3 heaped tbsps Matcha Green Tea Powder

1 coconut (water and coconut meat)

2 ripe bananas

1 cup date paste (12 dates + 300ml water, blended)

2 tbsp coconut butter (melted)

⅓ tsp pure vanilla extract

Method

1. Blend all the ingredients in the blender until the mixture is smooth. Taste for desirable sweetness.
2. Pour the mixture into a glass dish with an air tight lid and place in the freezer for 8-10 hours.
3. Leave out of the freezer for at least 10-15 minutes before serving so its soft enough to scoop into a dish.
