[Minimalist Baker](https://minimalistbaker.com/tahini-chocolate-banana-soft-serve/#wprm-recipe-container-34864)

Serves **1**

Ingredients

**1 ripe banana**, sliced and frozen
**1 tbsp tahini
1½ tbsp cacao powder
1 tbsp maple syrup** (or dates below)
**1 ripe pitted date** (optional)
**½ tsp vanilla extract** (optional)
**½ pinch sea salt** (optional)

Method

1. Add ripe, sliced, frozen banana to a food processor or blender and blitz until a creamy, scraping down sides as needed - about 3-5 minutes.
2. Add tahini (or other nut/seed butter), cacao powder and maple syrup and blend to combine. Taste and adjust as needed: more tahini for nuttiness, cacao for chocolate flavour, or maple syrup/or pitted date for sweetness.
3. Serve immediately or transfer to serving bowls and put in the freezer to thicken up.
4. Optional: top with 'magic shell' topping: take 10 measures of good dark chocolate to 1 measure of coconut oil. Chop the chocolate and melt in a microwave with the oil in 30 second blasts - until creamy. Then drizzle over cold desserts.

***Note**: Don't use cacao nibs - they're too hard and crunchy - grind them down if they're all you have.*
