Video/Recipe: Banana Coconut Cream Dessert

I wondered whether to call this creation a pudding, or a custard. So, I looked up the aforementioned words and found this:

The original pudding was formed by mixing various ingredients with a grain product or other binder such as butter, flour, cereal, eggs,or suet resulting in a solid mass. These puddings are baked, steamed or boiled. The second and newer type of pudding consists of sugar, milk, and a thickening agent such as gelatin, eggs, rice or tapioca to create a sweet, creamy dessert. This pudding terminology is common in North America and some European countries such as the Netherlands. In Britain, egg-thickened puddings are considered custards and starch-thickened puddings called blancmange. Clearly there are as many names for pudding as there are traditions and nationalities. I decided on calling it a dessert.

In order to make this dessert compatible with the SCD or GAPS we have to choose the ingredients carefully. The recipe below is appropriate for these diets and it so delicious that anyone will thoroughly enjoy this dessert.
