Recipe type: Desserts
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (14.5 ounce) can of coconut milk
½ cup water
1 banana, quartered
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of sea salt
¼ cup chia seeds
Chopped nuts, strawberries or other fruit (Optional) for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and place the bowl next to the stove.
In a small saucepan, heat the vanilla extra, coconut milk and water over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring often.
Slowly pour a ladleful of the hot coconut milk mixture into the eggs and whisk rapidly to combine. Pour the coconut milk-egg mixture back into the saucepan and whisk to combine. Continue to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the back of a spoon remains coated when dipped into the mixture.
Pour the mixture into a blender, add the banana, cinnamon, and salt and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the chia seeds and stir into the mixture with a rubber spatula.
Pour the mixture into 4 small bowls and refrigerate overnight.
Garnish with nuts, strawberries or other fruit, if desired and serve.
