Have to like bittersweet chocolate taste Good if you are after sugar free. Otherwise would be improved by using a couple melted choc chips drizzled on top instead of cocoa powder:) Pros: No added sugar Cons: Cocoa powder texture takes a little getting used to Read More

I made this for my family for after dinner. The only thing I did different was that I sliced up the banana's more and put them into a bowl. Then before we eat dinner I mixed in the cocoa and the coconut so it would sit for alittle bit. I also used 3 banana's. Everyone Loved it!! The kids had theirs on a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My husband and I had it alone in a dish. My kids asked if we could have this every night! Vicki Stoeckel MN Read More

The coconut in the picture doesn't look toasted but it looks yummy none the less! To Vicki Stoeckel MN. I hope the scoop of ice cream was sugar free because it kind of defeated the purpose otherwise...:) Read More
