4 ripe bananas
120ml coconut cream or milk
2 tsp sugar (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
finely-grated zest of 1/2 lemon or 1 lime
Method:
Peel the ripe bananas and then place in a bowl and mash with a fork.
Add in the remainder of the ingredients. If you would like it creamier you can put in a blender and process until smooth.
