Serves 2

4 very ripe bananas (frozen) 

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

1 - 2 tablespoons of milk of choice. (I use almond milk)

Method

Freeze the bananas chopped. Then simply put the chopped banana into a blender or food processor, add the peanut butter, vanilla essence and milk. Blend until combined. 

This can be served immediately or you can freeze it for another occasion.

Sarah’s Banana and Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Serves 2

2 ripe avocados 

1/2 cup cacao 

1/3 cup melted dark chocolate chips

4 tablespoons of almond milk (you can use other milk)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1/3 cup of maple syrup

4 medjool dates (pitted)

Method

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Decorate as you wish and serve. I decorated mine with edible flowers but nuts, desiccated coconut, berries or dried fruit could work as well. 

Little tip - If the dates aren't really soft, soak them in boiling water for 5-10 minutes and let the chocolate cool a little before using. I have used the chocolate without melting but you just need to blitz longer.
