Recipe: Peanut And Banana Ice Cream Chef, caterer and writer Lara Lee explores her Indonesian culinary heritage in her debut cookbook Coconut & Sambal, and the results are packed with flavour. With a long hot summer ahead of us, Lara has shared with us the perfect ice cream recipe to help you keep your cool. While perfecting ice cream from scratch can be time-consuming, this version takes only 30 minutes of hands-on time, and it’s worth the wait. “You won’t find this recipe in the traditional food markets, but it comes with all the flavours of Indonesia. If you’re feeling decadent, stir dark chocolate chunks through the ice cream with the peanuts before freezing. It will keep in the freezer for 3 months.” DISCOVER ‘COCONUT & SAMBAL’ INGREDIENTS Make about 1.6L 300g unsalted roasted peanuts, or 100g unsalted roasted peanuts and 200g chunky peanut butter, plus extra chopped roasted peanuts to serve 480ml double cream 400g frozen banana chunks 400ml condensed milk 80g caster sugar INGREDIENTS Make about 1.6L 300g unsalted roasted peanuts, or 100g unsalted roasted peanuts and 200g chunky peanut butter, plus extra chopped roasted peanuts to serve 480ml double cream 400g frozen banana chunks 400ml condensed milk 80g caster sugar METHOD Place 200g of the peanuts in a food processor and blend to a coarse paste.
