I had a can of opened coconut milk in the fridge that I used for something. I needed to use it up before it goes bad. That's how a lot of my recipes are created, needing to use something up. I threw the coconut milk in my Ninja cup single-serving blender with some freeze-dried strawberries and a banana. I always enjoy those two flavors together. I could've just eaten the creamy deliciousness with a spoon but decided to make it into a healthy snack to enjoy all week—simple ingredients, full of healthy fats, and a very similar no-bake snack to the pumpkin pie cups.
Strawberry Banana No-Bake Cups
Topping:
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
1/2 of a can unsweetened coconut milk (full fat)
1 medium banana
Crust:
1/3 cup granola (I used cranberry almond gluten-free from Aldi)
8 pitted dates
5 pitted prunes
3/4 cup roasted cashews
Instructions:
- Place all the topping ingredients in a blender until combined well. (You can also use frozen or fresh fruit in these.)
- Next using a food processor, throw the crust ingredients in, and pulse until it starts sticking together.
- I used a tablespoon to get out the gooey mess, of course, after I unplugged the processor at this point.
- Press into an individual muffin tin lined cups with your fingers to create the crust.
- Pour the coconut milk mixture into each cup, about three-quarters full or so.
- Throw in the freezer to harden up a bit. Maybe about 20 minutes.
- Take out and enjoy it!
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer; you may have to give it a couple of minutes to thaw. If you store in the fridge they don't hold up very firm, so be aware. They are delightful either way.
