A deliciously indulgent banana milkshake, topped with a swirl of vanilla-flavoured whipped cream and grated chocolate. For a healthier version, try using 3 frozen bananas and omit the ice cream when making the milkshake, and skip the topping.
For this recipe you will need a blender and, for the whipped cream topping, a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
Ingredients
For the milkshake
2 large ripe bananas
75g/2⅔oz vanilla ice cream
½ tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra to serve
300ml/10fl oz milk
For the topping
75ml/2½fl oz double cream
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
2 tsp maple syrup
1 square dark chocolate, finely grated

Method
Peel and slice the bananas, then place in a freezer box or bag and freeze for 1 hour until nearly frozen.
Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Whisk the cream together with the vanilla paste and maple syrup until it holds firm peaks. Scoop into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle and chill until ready to use.
To make the milkshake, tip the frozen banana slices into a blender, then add the ice cream, cinnamon and milk and blend on high speed until smooth. Alternatively, you can combine the ingredients using a hand-held stick blender in a bowl.
Divide the milkshake between two tall glasses and pipe a swirl of the whipped cream topping onto each one. Scatter with cinnamon and grated dark chocolate, if liked, and serve.
