Luxurious pineapple pancake dessert | fat-free, raw vegan

This decadent dessert is really simple. You need:

1 fat pineapple slice per person (removed skin and hard core)
1 scoop of Sexy Fat-Free Raspberry Ice-Cream per person
1 handful of your favourite juicy berries per person
A handful of raspberries (fresh or defrosted frozen) person
2 soaked dates per person


First make your raspberry ice-cream following this recipe here and set aside in the freezer to firm up slightly.

Next make a raspberry sauce by pureeing your raspberries and dates into a sauce using a blender or food processor.

Now assemble your dessert. Grab a nice plate and place one pineapple slice on each plate - this is your 'pancake'. Now fill the hole in the pineapple pancake with a generous handful of yummy berries. Take your ice-cream out of the freezer and place a big scoop on top of the berries. Now drizzle your raspberry sauce over the yummy wonder.

Facelift Nutrition Facts

Pineapple is an excellent source of Manganese, Vitamin C and Folic Acid. It also contains an enzyme called Bromelain which is a well known anti-inflammatory and can help the body to shed fat.
NB Pineapple alert! For those of us not blessed with a tropical climate be aware that your pineapple will be unripe and very acidic. Please sit your pineapple somewhere warm and allow it to turn completely golden yellow with no green on it at all, the leaves should be brown and crispy too. Only use ripe pineaple unless you like mouth ulcers, sore teeth and a 'geographic tongue'. You have been warned! Watch my 'How to avoid "pineapple mouth"' video


Raspberries are rich in anthocyanins, particularly Ellagic Acid which has been shown to exhibit anti-cancer and anti-tumor abilities. All berries contain fabulous anti-oxidants which are our anti-ageing best friends!

Bananas are wonderful for giving us steady energy from Carbohydrates, they also contain good amounts of the amino-acid Tryptophan which the brain can convert into Seratonin - the feel good hormone. Bananas have an excellent Potassium/Sodium ratio. They are also a high-fibre food which helps keep the colon nice and clean, a clogged colon shows up as puffy skin, outbreaks and urgh the dreaded cellulite so eat those bananas for beauty!
