    Instructions

    1 Heat a dry pan over a medium heat and toast hazelnuts until fragrant and golden (keep an eye on them so they don’t burn). Roughly chop.

    2 Combine chocolate, milk and vanilla in a small bowl. Bring about 3cm water to a simmer in a small pot and set the bowl in the mouth of the pot, making sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir chocolate occasionally as it softens until mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

    3 Divide the banana halves and blueberries among 4 shallow dishes. Serve with the ice cream, chocolate sauce and toasted nuts.
