Freeze 4 overripe bananas overnight after peeling and chopping them into pieces.

Chop 1/3 cup of peanuts or a nut of your choice and lightly toast them on the stovetop.

Add a heaped teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the toasted nuts and stir immediately to coat them.

Continue stirring for 30 seconds until the nuts are caramelized in the honey.

Transfer the nut crumble to a plate to cool and separate the nut clusters so they don't clump together.

Sprinkle a decent pinch of salt over the nut brittle.

Remove the seeds from 3 medjool dates and add them to the blender jug.

Add 1/2 cup of your preferred homemade yogurt, 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of homemade peanut butter, and 1/4 cup of raw cacao powder to the blender.

Add the 4 chopped frozen bananas to the blender.

Insert the tamper into the blender lid and secure it.

Blend on smoothie mode for 50 seconds, using the tamper to push the frozen banana down into the blades in a circular motion.

Stop once to scrape down the sides if necessary.

Once you have a smooth soft-serve texture, scoop the nice cream into bowls and sprinkle with the nut brittle.

Enjoy the nice cream right away before it melts, or for extra firmness, spoon it into another container and put it in the freezer for an hour before serving.
