👨‍🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)

Step 1: Peel & Mash the Bananas
Peel the bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl using a fork until smooth.
💡 Use ripe bananas with brown spots — they’re sweeter and easier to mash.

Step 2: Blitz the Oats
Place the gluten-free oats in a blender and pulse until you get a fine flour-like texture.
💡 No blender? Use oat flour directly or crush oats manually with a rolling pin.

Step 3: Combine Base Ingredients
Add the oat flour and cocoa powder to the mashed bananas and stir well until fully combined.
💡 Sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps in the base.

Step 4: Brew the Coffee
Dissolve instant coffee in 100 ml of hot water and stir to combine.
💡 Use strong espresso for deeper flavour — or decaf if preferred.

Step 5: Flavour the Base
Pour the hot coffee into the banana-oat-cocoa mixture and stir until fully absorbed.
💡 Let the mixture sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken before layering.

Step 6: Press the Base into a Dish
Spoon the mixture into a glass container and flatten with the back of a spoon.
💡 Choose a transparent dish for a pretty layered effect when serving.

Step 7: Make the Cream Layer
In a clean bowl, mix Greek yoghurt with mascarpone until smooth and creamy.
💡 Room temperature mascarpone blends faster and gives a silkier texture.

Step 8: Layer the Cream
Spread the mascarpone-yoghurt cream over the base in an even layer.
💡 Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.

Step 9: Decorate
Sprinkle with cocoa powder or finely grated dark chocolate.
💡 For extra crunch, add crushed walnuts or roasted hazelnuts.

Step 10: Chill or Serve
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for 1–2 hours to let the flavours meld.
💡 This dessert keeps well and tastes even better the next day!
