Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 very ripe frozen bananas
  • 60 ml / ¼ cup non-dairy milk
  • 26 g / 4 TBSP cacao or cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 TBSP maple syrup
  • 2-3 TBSP almond, hazelnut or peanut butter optional

Suggested toppings:

  • dark chocolate sliced into thin shards

Instructions
 

  • Slice the frozen bananas into coins.
  • Whiz the bananas in a food processor to break them up. Add the remaining ingredients and blend for a couple of minutes until smooth. Stop now and then to scrape down the sides. For a while it may look like it’s not going to blend smooth but be patient, it will! Taste test and add a touch more sweetener, if desired.
  • Divide between four ramekins. Decorate with dark chocolate. Serve immediately as soft serve, or place in the freezer to firm up. If left for two hours or more, the ice cream will freeze solid so leave at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving to allow it time to soften.
