To make the ice cream

1. Throw your banana slices (or you can gently guide them) into your blender, and whizz it until the consistency becomes smooth and creamy. This will be done very quickly if you have a Vitamix or Ninja blender and unfortunately will take longer with a less high powered one. I found that a food processor actually worked very well in getting a very ice-cream like texture, but perhaps that has more to do with the fact that my housemates food processor is perfect ..

2. Then add your peanut butter to the mixture. Blend for another 30 seconds – 1 minute.

To make the toffee sauce

1. Make sure you soften the dates by soaking them in hot water for a few minutes (3-5 is fine) first.

2. Once the dates are soft, add the dates in first and blend them for a bit until adding in your milk and vanilla extract.

3. Blend until your desired consistency (I wanted to leave mine a bit gritty and thick) and then either add to the ice-cream, on top or by swirling it in orrrrr just eat it. Hehe, it is really good.
