This dessert starts life as a smoothie, but is transformed into an epic sundae. It’s definitely a treat, but the naturally sweet ingredients mean less added sugar and more of the good stuff, says Jamie.

150g sliced frozen bananas (from supermarkets)
1/3 cup (95g) nut butter (we used crunchy almond butter)
3 1/2 cups (875ml) nut or coconut milk
1 tbs cocoa powder
1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
2 medjool dates, pitted, chopped
60g dark (70%) chocolate, melted
Sliced fresh banana, chopped skinless hazelnuts and skewered blueberries (optional), to serve

Method

1.

Place frozen bananas, nut butter, 2 cups (500ml) milk, cocoa, oats and dates in a food processor and whiz until smooth. Pour into a 1L (4-cup) freezerproof container and freeze overnight or until firm.
2.

When you’re ready to assemble the freakshakes, using an ice cream scoop, scoop 4 balls of the smoothie mixture onto a tray and place in the freezer. Place remaining smoothie mixture and remaining 1 1/2 cups (375ml) milk in a food processor and whiz until smooth.
3.

Carefully drizzle the inside of 4 x 300ml-capacity glasses with melted chocolate. Add liquid smoothie mixture, then top with frozen scoops of smoothie mixture. Decorate with sliced banana, chopped hazelnuts and blueberry skewers, if using.
