Luxury Choc Banana Ice Cream

Dessert - Ice cream - -

INGREDIENTS

1/2 container (8 T) plain 'Yofu' soya yoghurt, (or similar brand)
1 carton soya cream (to economise, use 200 ml / 6 3/4 fl oz soya milk + 50 ml / 1 3/4 fl oz oil)
2 heaped T cocoa powder
A few squares (approx 40 g / 1.3 oz) of your favourite vegan chocolate, melted (I used Green and Blacks cooking choc)
2-3 T maple syrup (to economise, use normal syrup, but flavour won't be as rich)
1/2 t vanilla essence
1-2 banana(s) (depending on size)

METHOD

Liquidize everything, then pour into an ice cream maker.

If you don't have an ice cream maker, chop the banana into small chunks and freeze beforehand. When blending everything, do it really thoroughly to get lots of air in, then pour into a suitable container and freeze for about 2 hours.

Texture won't be quite as good, but taste will be the same.

NOTES

This is actually low in fat and contains very little refined sugar, but it isn't cheap and certainly doesn't taste like health food!

Variation - Use coconut milk instead of the soya cream.
