'Tis the season to eat ice cream! (At least if you're in the southern hemisphere.)


Summer has arrived in Canberra with a thump. November was unseasonably cold and very, very wet. So we weren't quite prepared when a wave of hot, humid weather hit us this week! When I was at  our lovely local organic shop this morning they offered me a deal on some ageing bananas ($1/kg) so I bought a bunch and invented a new ice cream flavour: banana and cacao.

several over-ripe bananas
300 ml pouring cream
50 grams cacao nibs

Whip the cream till thick. Whiz the bananas in a blender. Combine bananas, cream and cacao and pour into a freezable container. Freeze. Yum.

Here are some other easy home made ice cream options, if you're feeling inspired or overheated ...

avocado, lime and ginger
Bailey's and macadamia [or other nuts]
basil, lime and honey
brandied fruit and nuts
chilli chocolate
