Banana pieces in cocoa and coconut flakes

4 servings

30 minutes

This simple yet elegant dessert is rooted in the traditions of Pan-Asian cuisine, where harmony of flavors plays a key role. Tender pieces of banana coated with a thin layer of cocoa powder acquire a slight bitterness that beautifully contrasts with the sweetness of coconut flakes. This combination not only offers a rich taste but also a delightful texture—the softness of the fruit pairs with a crispy shell. This dessert is perfect for both a light snack and as a finishing touch to a festive dinner. Its simplicity makes it easy to prepare and pleasing to the eye—golden banana pieces sinking into the whiteness of coconut resemble little islands of delight. The treat pairs wonderfully with a cup of green tea or aromatic coffee, making the tasting moment even cozier and more unforgettable.
