2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp raw coconut oil
1 tbsp plant-based milk (I used rice)
1/4 tsp salt
for the banana:
1 banana
for the chocolate syrup:
4 tbsp cacao powder
4 tbsp maple syrup

6-12 scoops Booja Booja’s Ginger ice-cream (or any other dairy free alternative)
Method
PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO 200C / 392 F
1. Begin by making the base. Add the walnuts into a food processor and quickly blitz and break them down into small pieces. Then add the dates and coconut oil and blend for about 1 minute until they form a fine, slightly sticky crumb. Then, set this mixture aside until later.
2. Now, make the coconut cream. Add the tins of coconut cream into a bowl and whisk using an electric whisk for about 12 minutes, until well whipped and forms peaks. Then when this is done, transfer the cream into the fridge to keep cool.
3. Next, slice the bananas for the banoffee layer lengthways in half. Then chop each half sideways into two. When this is done, line a baking tray with foil, place the bananas on top and wrap them in the foil. Place them into the oven and cook them for 10 minutes.
4. While the bananas cook, make the chocolate sauce. Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, milk and salt into a small pan and place onto a low-medium heat. Stir together for about 5 minutes, until all of the ingredients have mixed together and formed a syrupy/sauce consistency. Then, remove the sauce from the heat, add in the coconut oil and gently stir it into the sauce until it has melted and the sauce is glossy. Then, set it aside.
5. When the bananas have cooked, remove them from the oven. Remove them from the foil, and add them into a food processor with their excess liquid. Add in the coconut oil, maple syrup, salt and milk and blend until smooth. Then add in the dates and blend again until smooth. When this is done, set it aside and finely slice the banana for the banana layer.
6. Lastly, assemble the sundaes. Get your glasses/bowls, and place 1/6 of the crumb (2 spoonfuls) onto each base. Then, add 1 tbsp of banoffee mixture on top of each, and 1/6 of the banana slices. Next, drizzle on top 2 spoonfuls of chocolate sauce to roughly cover the banana layers. Then top the chocolate sauce layers with 2 generous spoonfuls of coconut cream, followed by another 1 tbsp of banoffee. Lastly, place a large scoop of ice cream on top of each glass, followed by a drizzle of the remaining chocolate and a spoonful of the remaining coconut cream. Then, serve.
If you don’t want to serve this immediately, complete all of the steps without adding the ice cream. Place the banoffee cups into the fridge to keep cool in the meantime, then top with the ice-cream later before serving.
