Ingredients 

Ice-Cream

  • 450 grams frozen banana sliced
  • 1 medium ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup 60ml maple syrup
  • ¼ cup 60ml + 2 tablespoons (40ml) cocoa
  • ¼ teaspoon 2.5ml sea salt

Shortbread

  • 250 grams wholemeal flour + 50 grams if required
  • 100 grams raw caster sugar
  • 200 grams vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon 5 ml vanilla extract

Instructions

  • To make the ice-cream, combine the frozen bananas, avocado, maple, cocoa and salt in to a food processor and process until well-combined and smooth. Scrap down the sides as you go. 
  • Place the soft-serve in a freezer safe container to set for a few hours until firm or serve as a soft-serve.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 160 degrees C.
  • Cream together the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl before adding the vanilla. 
  • Add the wholemeal flour and combine to a soft dough. Knead within the bowl and bring the dough together in to a ball. It may be a little sticky depending on your flour. 
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. If the dough is sticky, knead in the additional flour. 
  • Roll out to around ½ centimetre before cutting rounds with a cookie cutter or glass. 
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper and lay the rounds out evenly. 
  • Bake in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes before removing and allowing to cool. The shortbreads will crisp up as they cool.
  • When cool, place a round down and, using an ice-cream scoop, place a ball of ice-cream on the round. Place another round on top and press down to make a "sandwich". Serve immediately or store back in freezer, covered for up to three days.
