This is a healthier option for ice cream and also super easy to make since it's just three ingredients. I haven't added any sugar to this so if you want it a bit sweeter you could add some maple syrup or a bit of coconut sugar. In this recipe I use cashew, however any other nut would work perfectly. 

Ingredients:

• 600g frozen bananas - around three bananas 
• 85g toasted hazelnuts
• 5tbsp cacao powder

Recipe:

1. Before you freeze your bananas I suggest cutting them up into pieces to make it easier. Freeze your bananas overnight for at least 12 hours.
2. After this time, place your hazelnuts in the electric whisk and roughly chop.
3. Then add your frozen bananas and cacao and blend. If you want to add a sweetener this would be the time to add it in.  You may need to use a spatula to help blend the ingredients together. Make sure you scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl a few times.
4. Serve immediately or transfer to a freezer proof tub.
5. If you are going to freeze the ice cream make sure that when you take it out of the freezer you let it cool down for a while as it will be very hard.

I always have this ice cream in my freezer to add to my desserts or to eat when I fancy something sweet.
