## Choconana Coconut Ice

**INGREDIENTS**

- 1 x [tin of coconut milk](https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/252486194)
- 2 ripe [bananas](https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/fairtrade-bananas/088903-45703-45704)
- 3 tbsp of [honey](https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/essential-waitrose-squeezy-honey/024699-11962-11963)
- 100g of [dark chocolate,](https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/lindt-excellence-dark-chocolate-70-cocoa/009589-4735-4736) chopped
- 1 tbsp of [coconut or veg oil](https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/groovy-food-virgin-coconut-oil/614354-211696-211697)

 

 

 

**METHOD**

1. In a blender, blitz the banana with the coconut milk and honey. If you want to add anything else to the mix – like a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon – now’s the time.
2. In a saucepan, gently heat the chocolate with the oil. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
3. Pour the coconut mix into the ice lolly molds. Leave room at the top for the chocolate and for the mixture to expand.
4. Pour in the cool chocolate.
5. Freeze for minimum 6-8 hours.
