The simple combination of walnuts, chocolate, and banana nice cream in the form of an ice cream bar with the perfect no bake brownie and a decadent chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie layer

  • 100g / 3,5 oz pitted dates
  • 60g / 2 oz nuts and seeds of choice (I used walnuts, almond, and cashews)
  • 3 tbsp rolled oats
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • A generous pinch of salt
  • A splash of vanilla extract

Ice cream

  • 300g / 11 oz frozen banana in chunks
  • A small splash of milk of choice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • A hearty pinch of salt
  • A handful of walnut pieces
  • A handful of cacao nibs, chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate

Chocolate ganache

  • 30g / 1 oz dark chocolate, broken up into pieces
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice
  • A pinch of salt
  • A splash of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Start with lining a square or rectangular dish with plastic wrap or parchment paper. My dish was 12 x 16 cm / 5 x 6 inches.
  2. Start with the brownie layer by processing the dates, nuts and seeds, rolled oats, cocoa, salt, and vanilla in a food processor or powerful blender into a nice slightly crumbly dough. It should easily keep it’s shape squeezed in your hand.
  3. Transfer the brownie “dough” to the prepped dish and press and flatten using your hands.
  4. Give the food processor a quick rinse, then move on to the ice cream layer. In the food processor, mix the frozen banana together with the milk, vanilla, and salt until you get a nice soft serve like ice cream. Stir in the walnuts and chocolate. Transfer the ice cream to the dish and smooth out. Let set in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, put the dark chocolate, water, liquid sweetener, salt, and vanilla. Microwave on low to medium effect for 30 second intervals until the chocolate has almost completely melted. Once melted enough, mix until you get a smooth ganache. Pour and spread the ganache onto the ice cream. Put in the freezer until the ganache has set. Cut up and enjoy.
