Servings

Calories 104kcal

Equipment

Baking tray
non-stick baking paper
food processor or blender
Medium mixing bowl
1L freezer-proof container

Ingredients

300 g frozen cherries
2 medium very ripe bananas approx 100g each peeled and thinly sliced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
15 g small dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Line a baking tray with a sheet of non-stick baking paper. Place the sliced bananas on the lined baking tray in a single layer. Place in the freezer for 2 1/2 - 3 hours until frozen.
When you're ready to make the ice cream, remove the bananas from the freezer and leave to soften a little for 5 minutes.
Place the bananas, frozen cherries, lemon juice and vanilla extract in a food processor or blender and blitz for a minute or two until thick, smooth and creamy. You will need to scrape the mixture down from the side of your food processor occasionally. You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your food processor or blender.
Working quickly, scrape the mixture into a medium mixing bowl using a spatula. Fold in the chocolate chunks and scrape into a 1 L freezer-proof container. Roughly spread out, cover with a lid and place in the freezer for about 4 hours until frozen.
When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and leave to soften for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tip: Use very ripe bananas as they are naturally sweet and will give the ice cream a good flavour. This is a good way to use up any over ripe spotty bananas you may have.

Tip: It's worth using a good quality dark chocolate, we used small chocolate chunks with 70% cocoa solids.

Tip: If you're making this on a hot day, you can chill your mixing bowl in the fridge for a few minutes to help prevent the ice cream from melting while you fold in the chocolate. Aim to work quickly!
