As an extra special treat, particularly if I fancy a little more sweetness and crunch, I sometimes make these ice cream parfaits. The base is frozen blended bananas, topped with chopped dried fruit and nuts. The recipe below uses dates and almonds but at combination of raisins, cranberries, apricots, walnuts, pecans, cashews etc. can be used.
There's quite a lot of sugar in each parfait - even though it's natural sugar from fruit - so I do only eat these occasionally.
