Takes 60 min plus freezing time,serves 6.

Instructions

1. Add buckinis and oats to a high strength food processor or blender and pulse a few times until they are roughly starting to break down into a flour (you still want a few chunks).
2. Add all remaining biscuit base ingredients and process until just coming together. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold together when you pinch a clump between two fingers. (If the mixture is too dry try adding a small dash of water, spoonful of coconut oil, or an extra date).
3. Grease or line a small square tin (mine was 20cm x 20cm) and press the biscuit base evenly across the base of the tin.
4. In the same blender/processor add all of the banana cream ingredients and process until completely smooth.
5. Pour banana cream over the base layer and place in the freezer to set for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight).
6. While the banana cream is setting, make the caramel. Add all of the ingredients to the same blender/processor and blend until smooth. If not serving the slice straight away, store the caramel in a sealed jar in the fridge.
7. When ready to serve, remove the slice from the freezer. Spread the caramel evenly over the frozen banana cream and then top with sliced banana and shaved chocolate.
8. Allow to stand for around 15 - 20 minutes as it will be much easier to cut through the frozen banana at this point. Slice into long rectangles and serve!
9. Enjoy the perfect combination of crunchy biscuit, creamy banana and sweet caramel - YUM!
