HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
Today is my father’s birthday and my kids, my Dad and I went bowling for a couple of hours. I won both games. I have to say that the bumpers were up so I think that I probably would’ve come in 3rd place on the first game. The last game I bowled a 155. Not bad for me. It was fun though. I love hanging out with my Dad, he seriously is my hero.
I made the banana ice cream and jam today so I could complete this meal. I invited my father and the rest of the family over to enjoy this dessert for his birthday.
Banana Ice Cream Ingredients
1 cup cashews, soaked 1-2 hours
1/2 cup coconut meat
1/2 cup agave
1 1/4 cups water
2 fresh bananas
1 t lemon juice
1/4 vanilla bean, scraped
pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup coconut oil
Blend all ingredients in Vita-mix until very smooth. Pour into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s directions.
Jam Ingredients
1 pint raspberries
1/4 cup irish moss
1/4 cup agave
1 T lemon zest
Blend all ingredients in a food processor, chill for 3 hours.
These are crépes before and after they were made.
I used a little less than a 1/4 cup measuring tool. I was able to make 18 little crépes.
Piles of mixture, before I spread it out flat.

They were perfect! They worked!!! Absolutely perfect! So grateful.
After I got the crépes out I made the banana ice cream.
My mother, father, sister, niece and my crew were all here tonight! They all enjoyed the dessert. We sang Happy Birthday to my Dad and then they all ate. I was beaming. I love when they try my goodies and like them. Life is sweet!
The Final Product!
Assembly
Fill the crepes with mint custard and jam. Scoop banana “ice cream” to the side and pour chocolate sauce on top. INJOY!
Thanks Everyone for coming over tonight. Love you DAD, Happy Birthday!
