This is an extremely kid friendly dessert, snack if you substitute the coffee with chocolat and minus the little Kahlua I mixed in for added “flavor” – Pardonez moi (hic) – Just kidding But you can have this sneaky dessert with your man/woman after the kids are in bed- just try saying the name with a French accent to create the “a deux” mood, if you know what I mean …hey it’s French, one’s got to put le twist romantique to it, n’est pas?
Ok – all kidding aside, here goes.
Ingredients Serves – 4
5 Bananas
2 cups of plain low fat Yogurt
1 tbsp instant coffee powder (can be substituted with chocolate powder)
1tbsp hot water
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
1tbsp Kahlua (optional)
Agave and slivered almonds for dressing
Preparation
With a fork, mush 4 bananas into a bowl
Add the coffee powder in hot water and stir in with the mashed bananas
Beat the yogurt smooth
Take a glass, add a table spoon of the mush and top with a tablespoon of yogurt, add a sprinkle of the sugar and repeat a second time
Take the fork and swirl the yogurt around if you want a marble effect
Take the last banana, cur into round thins and decorate on top. Add a few slivered almonds and drizzle a tiny bit of agave.
Keep in the fridge and serve cold. A delicious dessert for about 150 calories – Can you ask for better? Enjoy with loved ones.
and pssst… never let on as to how cinchy this is to prepare.

Ur french is excellent Priya, this dessert looks absolutley irresistible..
Very novel.
I'm off coffee for now. Have to try it later
Very tasty and looks so nice..
In my dictionary French means butter and french means fancy. So, it goes well with the name you have given.
Good comment, Champa, except this is unusual in that it has NO BUTTER :)))and is actually pretty healthy!
That is one quick dessert to put together in matter of minutes! but, I am one of those very few banana haters….
