Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse & Banana Ice-cream Sundae



I've been waiting till the weather was just right to share a banana ice-cream recipe. And hooray this week it is!
 When ever we have over ripe bananas and I'm not making banana loaf I peal them, slice them and put them in a container in the freezer for smoothies or ice-cream. The only problem with this ice-cream is that you have to eat it fast as it melts fast but trust me, it's not too hard to do. You can use the recipe below or you can make it with just frozen bananas and frozen strawberries. Or as a friend told me, with bananas and a tbsp each of tahini and honey. Whatever way you do it you've got guilt free delicious ice-cream in less than a minute.
I was also putting off posting my raw chocolate mousse as there are a million versions of this on the net right now. However my 15 year old son convinced me to share mine as it is a very good version. It is extremely heavy on the vanilla which is it's trick and rather light on the cacao with makes it very light and creamy in consistency.
These two recipes together make the best and quickest desert. Seriously, the most time spent will be cleaning the blender in between. And with the lovely crushed macadamias on top, heaven!
