I don’t know about you, but I’m addicted to Pinterest. With the slightest of provocations (ooh, someone saved my pin!), I can find myself sucked into the Pinterest time vortex where nothing else matters but jumping from pin to pin. It’s kind of dangerous…
But one of things I love about it, is being part of this massive online community where we are all sharing our ideas. Often, brilliant ‘why doesn’t everyone know about this???’ type ideas.
I honestly don’t know if I ever would have tried the ubiquitous one-ingredient soft serve banana ice cream if I hadn’t seen it on someone’s board. Now I make it all the time! So imagine my joy when I found out (on a pinning spree no less) that you can do the same with my other favourite fruit – mango!
Now, I’ve experimented with all kind of mix-ins to flavour my banana ice cream differently (dates, cacao, nut butter, berries) so it seemed only too clear: what about a banana-mango ice cream combo? Topped with extra fruit, whipped coconut cream and toasted coconut flakes, a new dessert obsession has been born…
