Preparation steps
1.
For the chocolate decoration, melt the couverture chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot but not boiling water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour the chocolate into a freezer bag with one tiny corner cut off. Squeeze the chocolate onto baking parchment to make shapes or ornaments as wished. Leave to dry.
2.
For the chocolate sauce, heat the milk with the cream in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate, let it melt and leave to cool. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl with the sugar and cornflour until creamy. Gradually pour in the slightly cooled chocolate milk, stirring all the time. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and allow to thicken over a low heat, stirring all the time. (Do not let the sauce boil). Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
3.
Mix the banana slices with the lemon juice and place the slices in the glass bowls around the edges. Pour in the chocolate sauce and chill in the fridge for approx. 1 hour.
4.
Whip the cream with the icing sugar and cream stiffener.
5.
Place the chopped nut-chocolate in the glass bowls and spoon the cream on top. Garnish each bowl with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and a chocolate decoration and serve.
