Ingredients

For the Cream Layer

2 ripe bananas

1 cup Greek yogurt or hung curd

½ cup cream cheese or mascarpone (optional for richer texture)

1 tsp vanilla extract

2–3 tbsp honey or sugar-free sweetener (optional)

Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

For the Coffee Layer

½ cup strong brewed coffee (room temperature)

½ tsp cocoa powder

1 tsp vanilla (optional)

For the Layers

12–14 sugar-free biscuits OR ladyfingers
(You can use digestive sugar-free biscuits, oatmeal biscuits, or whole-wheat rusks)

• 1 banana (sliced thinly for layering)

For Topping

Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Dark chocolate shavings (optional, sugar-free)

Instructions (Step-by-Step)

1. Make the Cream Base

In a blender or mixing bowl:

Add 2 ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, cream cheese (or mascarpone), vanilla, and optional honey.

Blend/whisk until smooth, creamy, and lump-free.

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed (still sugar-free).

2. Prepare the Coffee Soak

In a bowl, mix:

Brewed coffee

Cocoa powder

Vanilla (optional)

Let it cool completely.

3. Dip the Biscuits

Quickly dip each biscuit into the coffee (1–2 seconds).

Do not soak too long—they will break.

Arrange a full layer at the bottom of your dish.

4. Add the Cream Layer

Spread half of the banana-cream mixture over the biscuits.

5. Add Banana Slices

Layer thin banana slices over the cream for extra natural sweetness.

6. Repeat Layers

Add another layer of coffee-dipped biscuits.

Spread the remaining cream on top.

7. Chill

Refrigerate for 4–6 hours, or overnight for best flavor and perfect texture.

The bananas sweeten the cream more as it sets.

8. Dust & Serve

Before serving:

Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Add sugar-free dark chocolate shavings if you like.

Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy!

• Greek yogurt makes it lighter; mascarpone makes it richer.
