Frozen Banana Cream with Cranberries

Ingredients

• 8 bananas - موز
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries (OR chopped dried dates) - التوت البري المجفف
• 1/4-1/2 cup almonds (OR pecans) - لوز
• 2-3 tablespoon milk (OR coconut milk OR almond milk - optional) - لبن

Step by step

1. Slice and freeze overly ripe bananas.
2. Use a blender to smoothen the frozen bananas. You might need a couple of tablespoons of milk to ease the blender.
3. Soak the dried cranberries in some warm water for 10 minutes before squeezing water out of them and sprinkling them on the banana cream.
4. You can also toast some almonds or caramelised pecans and sprinkle them on top.
5. To make caramelised pecans: add your raw pecans to a non-stick pan on medium heat and gradually add 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar (You may use honey or maple syrup instead). Keep stirring so the pecans don't stick to the pan and making sure all the pecans are being coated. Once the caramel is formed around the pecans and they start to stiffen, remove from the heat and place on a parchment paper until it cools. You can break them apart with your hand or chop them up with a knife if you want smaller pieces.
