I promise to put more savoury dishes soon, my problem is that I make lovely things but only remember to blog about it after scoffing half of my plate and then what's the point of taking a picture of half a chicken breast with three florets of broccoli and four bits of pepper - some of you might accuse me from eating nothing. Tonight my dinner will be pretty uninspiring as we're waiting for our food delivery, so my meal will consist of all the dry and withered stuff from the fridge cobbled together to make something decent - not exactly something that could win the Master Chef finale.
So, in the mean time, let's go back to chocolate. This ice-cream is ridiculously easy, quick and everyone loves it. With three ingredients and a blender you can make a pudding in 5 min max, which you know it's not full of rubbish and not loaded with sugar.
Ingredients: (serves 1)
- 1 frozen banana cut in slices - I tend to buy more bananas that I will need for the week and then I slice them up and freeze them in individual portions so that I always have some at the ready. Freeze them flat, it'll be easier for your blender to go through them.
- 1 heaped tbsp. cocoa powder
- A splash of milk or dairy alternative - I use oat milk.
Method:
Put the banana and cocoa powder in your blender, blitz until the banana resembles chunky bread crumbs. Add a splash of milk, blitz again for 1 min or so - depending on the size of the banana you may need to add a bit more milk, what you want is to reach a creamy consistency but not too liquid unless you want a smoothie.

| This was made in my new Kenwood multi-pro blender, which I have to say is nowhere near as good as the old one. It looks more jazzy but struggles a bit with the banana at the start. One day I'll buy a Vitamix, one day... |

| I added another splash of milk to get to this consistency. |

| There is is, deliciously chocolatey and creamy! |
