I am not used to working with bananas because it is not the most inspiring and refreshing fruit but for sweet tooth it is the ideal food to exploit, whether for its sweetening power or its complementarity with other ingredients that evoke the ideal dessert.
I have created for you a dessert that is easy to make but pleasant for the eyes and taste buds. The banana blends perfectly with the cinnamon, so I chose to use the speculoos to bring this spice to the dish as well as another crunchy texture. Speculoos powder also prevents ice cream from dripping all over the plate.
I exploited its ease of caramelizing to add crunch just with a little sugar. Always in complementarity of tastes we have blueberries for more freshness and a tart taste then roasted hazelnuts that will bring texture and a smoky side to the dessert.

Roast the hazelnuts in a hot pan, over medium heat, about 5 min, stirring occasionally to prevent them from burning. Remove from heat as soon as they turn brown.
Cut the bananas into 2 lengthwise and spread 2 teaspoons of sugar over them.
Using a blowtorch caramelize the sugar and let it cool.
Crumble speculo biscuits using a blender.
For the plating, using a brush, draw a vertical line on the plate, lay the banana, add the blueberries cut in 2 on the banana. Spread the crushed hazelnuts over the chocolate.
Make 2 piles of speculoos, form quenelles of ice cream and place them on the piles.
