I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and delicious dessert that I could make with my kids. I had some frozen apricots and bananas in the freezer, and I thought that they would be a great base for a nice cream. I added some almond butter, coconut milk, honey, cinnamon, and sea salt, and the result was amazing! My kids loved it, and I have been making it ever since.
