Quick & Delicious 5-Ingredient Dessert
Looking for a dessert that’s quick, healthy, and absolutely scrumptious? This 5-ingredient treat is our family’s go-to when we’re craving something sweet but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. With creamy banana, nutty rye flakes, rich peanut butter, tangy raspberries, and a luscious dark chocolate topping, this dessert is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Ready in just 1 hour and 30 minutes (including chilling time), it’s ideal for a last-minute sweet fix or a guilt-free indulgence. Let’s dive into the recipe!
Ingredients (Serves 2-4)
• 1 ripe banana
• 4 tbsp rye flakes
• 2 tbsp peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, your choice!)
• 100g fresh raspberries
• 50g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa for that rich flavor)
Instructions
1. Mash the Banana Base: In a medium bowl, peel and mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. This will be the creamy foundation of your dessert.
2. Mix the Base: Add the rye flakes and peanut butter to the mashed banana. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky, with the nutty rye flakes adding a lovely texture.
3. Shape the Base: Spread the banana-rye-peanut butter mixture evenly onto a plate or into a small dish, forming a smooth layer. You can use the back of a spoon to make it nice and even.
4. Add the Raspberry Layer: In a separate bowl, gently mash the raspberries with a fork until they form a chunky puree. Spread this vibrant layer evenly over the banana base for a burst of tangy freshness.
5. Melt the Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a microwave-safe bowl (in 20-second bursts, stirring in between) or over a double boiler. Once smooth, drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the raspberry layer.
6. Chill and Set: Pop the plate or dish into the fridge for 1 hour and 30 minutes to let the dessert set. This chilling time helps the layers firm up and makes the flavors meld beautifully.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice or scoop the dessert into portions and enjoy! It’s perfect as is, but you can sprinkle some extra rye flakes or a few fresh raspberries on top for a fancy touch.
Why We Love This Dessert
This dessert is not only quick and easy but also customizable. Swap rye flakes for oats if that’s what you have on hand, or try almond butter for a different nutty vibe. The raspberries add a tart contrast to the rich dark chocolate, while the banana and peanut butter bring natural sweetness and creaminess. It’s a guilt-free treat that feels indulgent yet is made with wholesome ingredients.
Pro Tip: Make a double batch and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days for an instant sweet treat!
