Ingredients

1 1/2 bar Lindt EXCELLENCE 70% Dark Chocolate Bar, finely chopped
3 cups (750 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
1 vanilla pod, split open
1/2 cup (125 ml) granulated sugar
2 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into slices

Method

Simmer coconut milk with sugar, vanilla seeds and pod in medium saucepan over medium low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Discard vanilla pod.
Remove 1 cup (250 ml) of milk for foam. Place in fridge to chill until ready to use.
Add chocolate to remaining coconut milk mixture and stir until chocolate has completely melted. Place mixture in freezer for 1 hour or until very cold. Stir occasionally.
Peel the bananas and cut them into slices. Add to the ice cold chocolate-coconut mixture and blend until smooth. Pour the milkshake into four glasses.
Reheat the remaining coconut milk mixture in a taller cooking pot. Using a hand blender, mix until foamy. Holding the pot at a slight angle, and using a spoon, divide the foam equally over top of each chocolate and banana milkshake.
