To create the perfect Frozen Banana Coconut Cream Squares, start by preparing your dish. Pour the creamy banana-coconut mixture into a square or rectangular baking dish. Using a spatula, spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish to ensure a uniform surface. This step is crucial as it allows the dessert to freeze evenly and makes cutting the squares much easier later on. Make sure to reach the corners of the dish, smoothing out any bumps or air pockets that may form. A flat, even surface will result in well-formed squares that hold their shape when served.

Ingredients
  

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup coconut cream (or full-fat coconut milk)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)

Pinch of salt

Fresh banana slices and toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, coconut cream, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy.

    Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the shredded coconut, almond flour, chopped walnuts (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.

      Line the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch (or similar size) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

        Fill the Dish: Pour the banana coconut mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

          Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully frozen.

            Cut Squares: Once frozen solid, remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the square out of the dish. Cut into desired square sizes.

              Garnish (Optional): Top with fresh banana slices and toasted coconut flakes before serving for extra flavor and texture.

                Serve: Enjoy your Frozen Banana Coconut Cream Squares straight from the freezer, or let them thaw slightly for a softer treat!
