If you can’t get hold of plantain, bananas work just as well here

Part ice cream, part cheesecake? Don’t mind if we do. This is a great little prep-ahead number for all of your summer entertaining needs. Simply remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. You can play with the fruit; blackberries, cherries or strawberries would all ripple well here
