- 100 ml soya single cream 4 tbsp crunchy peanut butter

- Place the biscuit mixture into the prepared tin, press firmly into the base and 3cm around the sides.
- Place the banana slices in a food processor or powerful blender.
- Purée banana slices, scraping the bowl as needed. Purée until the mixture is creamy and smooth, then add the soya single cream.
