This ice cream is very easy to do with children. I make chocolate chip biscuits and butterscotch sauce as a companion to the ice cream, or to sandwich the ice cream whenever they like. But they stick on ice cream cone, which I cannot make myself. They just eat the biscuits for afternoon tea, and never touch the butterscotch sauce. My beloved husband does!

Banana Ice Cream

by Arfi Binsted

4 large, very ripe bananas, peeled

150-220g white sugar

juice of one lemon

400ml fresh cream

300ml heavy cream

200ml full-cream milk

Chopped bananas and put them in a blender or food processor with sugar and lemon juice.

Whiz until smooth. Pour in the creams and milk. Whiz again until smooth. Pour on to a shallow freezer tin, cover and freeze for an hour, or until the ice has been formed around the edges.

Put the mixture into the blender again, and whiz (or simply fork the iced edges to mingle with the softer one in the middle, mix well).

Freeze for another hour, and then repeat. Freeze once more, whiz again and this time, pour it into the freezer container.

Serving when required.

Biscuits

125g unsalted butter, softened

50g caster sugar

150-200g brown sugar

225g plain flour, sifted

1 tsp baking powder, sifted

1 tsp vanilla extract

150g dark chocolate chips

1 egg

Preheat the oven to 170C.

Butterscotch Sauce

50g unsalted butter

300g brown sugar

125ml fresh creama

Put all the ingredients in a heavy pot. Stir until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.

Let it boil, then simmer until the sauce is thicken.

To assemble:

Prepare one sheet of biscuit, scoop the ice cream on top.
