Pineapple Paradise Cups - 4 Ingredients

8/14/2015 0 Comments
 
I love getting a fresh sweet smelling pineapple from the market. I don't know why I don't get more than 1 or 2 as it seems they disappear all too quickly. This last week I made healthy frozen desserts using only four healthy ingredients for one sweet treat. Pineapple, bananas, cranberries and pecans are alchemically combined for bliss in each bite. The crust is made with pecans and cranberries, topped with banana slices, pureed pineapple, more banana slices and cranberry gems for a beautiful dessert. With no refined sugars, dairy or gluten you can have more than one and still feel great!

Total Time: 4+ Hours Freeze | Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Servings: 6 

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 Cup Pecan Meal 
  • 1/2 Cup Cranberries, Divided
  • 1 1/2-2 Ripe Bananas, Divided
  • 3/4 Cup Pureed Pineapple 

Peaceful Preparation:
  1. Process pecans in a food processor to create pecan meal. Add 1/4 cup of the cranberries and process until the mixture is sticky. Divide evenly in 6 cupcake liners. I prefer silicone for non-stick. 
  2. Slice 1 banana and place banana slices on top of the crust, creating a banana layer.
  3. Pour the 3/4 cup pureed pineapple on top of the banana layer, spreading evenly over the 6 treats.
  4. Decorate with remaining cranberries and banana slices. Freeze for 4+ hours, until solid. Remove from freezer, allow to thaw for 5 minutes, or until you can enjoy easily. 

Tips:
  • Use your favorite nut or seed to create the meal.
  • Use raisins or your favorite dried fruit.
  • Use your favorite fruit puree.

P.S. - The Artistic Vegan Cookbook is available for pre-sale! The book is complete with over 150 vegan + gluten-free recipes, a meal plan and it even includes my vegan story.  It is over 400 pages and will be ready for you by the end of this month! I'm making the final adjustments now. I was hoping to have it out in July but as the Rolling Stones song goes "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you might find, you get what you need..." 
Have a wonderful weekend ~ Love, Christa
