Ingredients
- 1 litre vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 160 g (1 cup) fine rice flour
- 75 g (½ cup) plain flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 250 ml (1 cup) ice-cold water
- 2 bananas, halved lengthways
- cinnamon sugar, to dust
To serve
- vanilla ice-cream
- chocolate syrup
- dark chocolate shavings

Instructions
- Place the oil in a heavy–based saucepan and heat to 170°C.
- Place the rice flour, plain flour and baking powder in a bowl and stir to combine. Whisk in the ice-cold water until a smooth batter forms. Dip the banana halves into the batter and deep-fry for about 4 minutes or until the batter is golden brown. Drain on a wire rack and dust with the cinnamon sugar.
- Place two banana halves on a serving plate. Place three scoops of ice cream between them. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and scatter with chocolate shavings, almonds and peanuts. Pipe a little cream on top of each scoop of ice cream and top with a glacé cherry. Serve immediately.
