Ingredients

  • 4 bananas sliced and frozen
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoon milk almond milk or coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1.5 teaspoon pumpkin spice ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Maple candied walnuts (optional)

  • 2 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
  • ¼ cup walnut pieces
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

Prep the candied walnuts:

  • Place a frying pan on a medium to high heat and add the butter or coconut oil.
  • Add the walnut pieces and maple syrup or sugar when the butter or oil starts to bubble and cook for a few minutes until the sugar or maple syrup melts and is caramelized.
  • Remove from the pan from the heat and place the walnuts on a piece of parchment paper, ensuring there is space between them, so they do not stick together. Leave them to cool while you make the nice cream.

Nice Cream

  • Place the frozen banana pieces in a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin spice or cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and salt and blitz quickly until incorporated.
  • Add milk or coconut cream if you need to make the nice cream a little thinner.
  • Serve immediately topped with the roughly chopped candied walnuts, or transfer to a container and freeze for up to 3 months.
