Healthy Bounty Coconut Chocolate Cake

This healthy Bounty-inspired dessert layers a soft chocolate banana base with a creamy coconut yogurt topping and a rich dark chocolate finish.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 250 g plain yogurt
  • 40 g shredded coconut, plus extra for topping
  • 1 tsp vanilla syrup
  • 40 g dark chocolate, melted
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or milk, for thinning melted chocolate if needed

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe dish or bowl, mash the banana until smooth, then mix in the egg, cocoa powder, baking soda, and lemon juice until fully combined.
  2. Microwave the chocolate banana mixture for about 4 minutes, or until set and cake-like. Let it cool completely.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the yogurt, shredded coconut, and vanilla syrup until thick and creamy.
  4. Spread the coconut yogurt mixture evenly over the cooled chocolate base.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate, adding the coconut oil or a splash of milk if you want a smoother drizzle.
  6. Pour or drizzle the melted chocolate over the top, then finish with extra shredded coconut.
  7. Chill for 15 to 30 minutes before serving for the best texture and clean slices.

Tip: For a firmer, more Bounty-like filling, use thick Greek yogurt or strain regular yogurt for 30 minutes before mixing.
