Here's a delish and easy-to-prepare dessert recipe from our resident cook at one of our SDN centres

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk (or your favourite dairy-free. alternative)
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 x Tbsp. cocoa powder

Method

1. Add all ingredients into a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until a smooth consistency.

1. Mash the banana with a fork while slowly adding milk until mostly smooth.
2. Add remaining ingredients (if using dates chop into small pieces).
